I mention this for reasons other than my reading skills, but because that's why the OP case can't really be compared to the ectopic pregnancy stuff in terms of double effect.

That's where this case would be the same as an ectopic. Ectopic pregnancies have nothing wrong with the fetus. They are just located outside of the uterus. There are actually a lot of cases in the literature where ectopic fetuses are carried to term and survive as normal babies. The only thing "wrong" with these fetuses is that they kill the mothers.
