Here’s the situation; a woman wishes to bear children, but all pregnancies have had defects that have resulted in the offsprings’ deaths. These defects can be observed even while the fetus is still in the womb. The woman, however, insists upon bearing children. As a health giver, should she\he honor the woman’s wish? If not, what would be her\his appropriate action?

I’m not sure what you mean. How can someone honor (or not honor) someone else’s wish to bear children?
And how can someone insist on doing something when her body obviously is incapable of it?
I can insist on flying, or on growing to be seven foot tall, but that won’t make it happen.
Sorry, but I don’t understand what you’re asking.
