摘要
The surgical correction of nonlethal fetal anomalies such as myelomeningocele raises important ethical issues relevant to perinatology practice. Questions include who is the patient (ie, the woman, the fetus, or both) and how, if at all, is it possible to do ethically appropriate research on this nonvalidated procedure. We examine these issues, discuss how the conceptual separation of the woman and fetus distorts ethical and policy analyses, and conclude with a suggestion for avoiding the ethical problems associated with the evaluation and use of maternal-fetal surgery.
