  1. The Ethics of Vaginal Birth after Cesarean.Sonya Charles - 2012 - Hastings Center Report 42 (4):24-27.
    The decline in providers and facilities that will allow a trial of labor after cesarean forces many women to choose a repeat cesarean. The choice is frequently not much of a choice, however, since the full range of options are often not on the table. This limited “choice” violates obstetricians' obligations both to respect patients' autonomy and to offer them good care. There has been a vigorous but so far not very fruitful debate in the last few years about the (...)

  • (1 other version)Forced caesareans: applying ordinary standards to an extraordinary case.Hafez Ismaili M’Hamdi & Inez de Beaufort - 2021 - Journal of Medical Ethics 47 (4):233-238.
    Is it morally justifiable to force non-consenting pregnant women to submit to caesarean surgery to save their fetus in distress? Even though proponents and opponents largely agree on the interests at stake, such as the health and life of the fetus and the respect for bodily integrity and autonomy of pregnant women, they disagree on which moral weight to attach to these interests. This is why disagreements about the justifiability of forced caesareans tend to be pervasive and intractable. To sidestep (...)

  • Physician Refusal of Requests for Futile or Ineffective Interventions.John J. Paris & Frank E. Reardon - 1992 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 1 (2):127.
    Several recent articles raise an issue long unaddressed in the medical literature: physician compliance with patient or family requests for futile or ineffectice therapy. Although they agree philosophically that such treatment ought not be given, most physicians have followed the course described by Stanley Fiel, in which a young patient dying of cystic fibrosis was accepted “for evaluation” by a transplant center even though he has already passed the threshold of viability as a candidate for a heart-lung transplant. Dr. Fiel (...)

    The liberty of the woman is at stake in a sense unique to the human condition and so unique to the law. The mother who carries a child to full term is subject to anxieties, to physical constraints, to pain that only she must bear. That these sacrifices have from the beginning of the human race been endured by woman with a pride that ennobles her in the eyes of others and gives to the infant a bond of love cannot (...)

  • Ultrasound’s ‘window on the womb’ brings ethical challenges for balancing maternal and fetal health interests: obstetricians’ experiences in Australia.Kristina Edvardsson, Rhonda Small, Ann Lalos, Margareta Persson & Ingrid Mogren - 2015 - BMC Medical Ethics 16 (1):31.
    Obstetric ultrasound has become a significant tool in obstetric practice, however, it has been argued that its increasing use may have adverse implications for women’s reproductive freedom. This study aimed to explore Australian obstetricians’ experiences and views of the use of obstetric ultrasound both in relation to clinical management of complicated pregnancy, and in situations where maternal and fetal health interests conflict.

    In order to prepare bioethics and clinical ethics courses for clinicians in Turkey, we needed to know the attitudes of physicians when placed in ethically difficult care situations. We presented four cases to 207 physicians who are members of the Physicians’ Association in Kocaeli, Turkey. Depending on the decisions they made in each case, we determined whether they were aware of the ethical aspects of the cases and the principles they chose as a basis for their decisions. We aimed to (...)

  • Decisions Near the End of Life: Resources Allocation Implications for Hospitals.Paul B. Hofmann - 1992 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 1 (3):229.
    Heathcare spending, which was almost 13% of the gross national product last year, is estimated to jump to 14% in 1992. For the first time, hosital expenditures are projected to exceed $300 biilion, representing over 38% of the nation's total healthcare bill. In an effort to reduce federal and state budget deficits and to stimulate institutional cost containment, Medicare and Medicaid officials are becoming even more parsimonious in negotitation reimbursement levels.
