With the increase in reproductive technologies, there has also been an increase in multifetal pregnancies, particularly higher-order multifetal pregnancies. Higher-order pregnancies are associated with numerous neonatal and maternal pregnancy complications. Neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality rates increase as the plurality of multifetal pregnancies increase. To decrease these morbidity and mortality rates, a procedure termed multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) was developed. MFPR is an invasive procedure that decreases the number of fetuses giving the remaining fetuses the greatest chance at health and survival. Most patients choose to reduce their multifetal pregnancies to twins; however, in the past few years, an increasing number of patients have elected to reduce to a singleton. This demand has caused for further investigation to assess medical justification. In the end, MFPR to a singleton tends to produce an outcome similar to non-reduced singleton pregnancies; thereby, possessing medical justification. The real question for the patients and the physician operators becomes: Can reducing a multifetal pregnancy, particularly reducing to a singleton, be ethically justified?
