De acuerdo a los reportes médicos, el feto no sólo carecía de posibilidades de sobrevivir después del nacimiento, sino que la continuación del embarazo generaba riesgos sobre la salud de la madre. Por estas razones, la gestante solicitó la aplicación del aborto terapéutico, permitido por la legislación peruana. Sin embargo, los médicos se rehusaron a aplicarlo debido a que consideraban que la gestante requería de una autorización judicial para hacerlo. Por este motivo, la adolescente, apoyada por una ONG, presentó el caso a las Naciones Unidas, la cual recomendó al Estado peruano la aplicación del aborto terapéutico para proteger la salud de las mujeres cuyos embarazos pudieran afectar su integridad y también su vida.2012text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4932875(Revista) ISSN 2174-7210Revista sobre la infancia y la adolescencia, ISSN 2174-7210, Nº. 2, 2012, pags. 84-114engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
