“Over the last two decades, medical researchers have become more comfortable
with the idea that serious attention must be given to ethical issues when the
tests of new technologies are being designed. They have come to see that
experimental trials must meet certain standards, not only of scientific
rigour, but also of moral acceptability.” (Introduction)
Presented by an international group of experts, the eight essays included in
this volume evaluate the new technologies in fetal care and also wrestle with
the new problems, often moral ones, that have accompanied techonological
advancement. The opening chapters review state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging
and molecular genetics and focus on the new patient—the fetus. From here, the
efficacy of fetal therapy, the problem of assessing long-term viability, the
ethical issues involved in both clinical practice and medical research, and
the legal rights of the new patients and their parents are examined. The final
chapter “Are Fetuses Becoming Children?” brings a fresh philosophical
perspective to the question of a fetus’s status and rights.
