I really don't know how to comment on your marvellous topic. Such I great post :D
I personally have very limited medical knowledge all I know is what I seen in shows and through my education.
Medically this show has not been strong. It has been disappointing, as it has such a chance to show not only the emotionally side of cancer, (which they have done beautifully) but also the medical side of it. In regards to diagnosing, treating and the physical effects to the person.
The pregnancy and cancer track as opened the writers up with many options, but in their case they all seem dangerous. As you said it may not have been necessary to show a women having to choose between her child or sibling. That being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Abortion is not something that can be taken lightly, it effects lasts a lifetime not only for the women but in this case her entire family. But can the writers be trusted to show their dilemma and this issue with the sensitivity it deserves?
Agreed Maanvi's character would not agree to the fact, but will she be in a state to argue?
Stem cell transplant is something which is I think relatively unknown to many, and could be a great use of medical knowledge and expertise. But will it infuse drama for the show? Which is what the writers are always looking for, rather than the fundamental side. (On a side note, for stem cell transplant to be effective, does the cells need to be scanned before fertilisation? Sorry if my wording is incorrect)
