  1. Christian Humility and the Goods of Perinatal Hospice.Aaron D. Cobb - 2021 - Christian Bioethics 27 (1):69-83.
    Perinatal palliative and hospice care (hereafter, perinatal hospice) is a novel approach to addressing a family’s varied needs following an adverse in utero diagnosis. Christian defenses of perinatal hospice tend to focus on its role as an ethical alternative to abortion. Although these analyses are important, they do not provide adequate grounds to characterize the wide range of goods realized through this compassionate form of care. This essay draws on an analysis of the Christian virtue of humility to highlight the (...)

  • Responsibly counselling women about the clinical management of pregnancies complicated by severe fetal anomalies.Frank Chervenak & Laurence B. McCullough - 2012 - Journal of Medical Ethics 38 (7):397-398.
    Heuser, Eller and Byrne provide important descriptive ethics data about how physicians counsel women on the clinical management of pregnancies complicated by severe fetal anomalies. The authors present an account of what such counselling ought to be based on, the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient and the professional responsibility model of obstetric ethics. When there is certainty about the diagnosis and either a very high probability of either death as the outcome of the anomaly or survival with (...)

  • Misreading Medicine: Statutory Prohibitions of Abortion for Disability.Megan Glasmann - forthcoming - Journal of Medical Humanities:1-13.
    Abortion prohibitions in some states include carve-outs based on the medical condition of either the mother or the fetus. These carve-outs, however, may be couched in limiting language structured by legislators rather than in language understandable in the context of medical care. In circumstances where legislative bodies fail to adequately incorporate medical professionals in the drafting of medical laws, the resulting vagueness or ambiguity may lead to a lack of utility or viability. This paper considers the consequences of such legislative (...)

  • Fatal fetal paternalism.Dominic Wilkinson - 2012 - Journal of Medical Ethics 38 (7):396-397.
    Heuser and colleagues' survey of obstetricians provides a valuable insight into the current management of severe fetal anomalies in the United States. Their survey reveals two striking features - that counselling for these anomalies is far from neutral, and that there is significant variability between clinicians in their approach to management. In this commentary I outline the reasons to be concerned about both of these. Directiveness in counselling arguably represents a form of paternalism, and the evident variability in practice is (...)
