  • The bioethics of human Fetal tissue research and therapy: moral decision making of professionals.
    American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 1994
    Co-Authors: R C Cefalo, R L Berghmans, S P Hall
    Abstract:

    We investigated the decision making of professionals regarding the ethical acceptability of using human Fetal tissue from elective abortion for research or therapy. We surveyed 390 professionals from 20 European countries on their ethical beliefs regarding the scientific and medical use of human Fetal tissue from elective abortion. We assessed the importance of basic medical ethics and beliefs regarding the morality of abortion and Fetal Rights to their decision making. Sixty-six percent of 198 responding professionals believed that use of Fetal tissue from elective abortion was ethically acceptable. Beliefs regarding the morality of elective abortion and Fetal exploitation overwhelmingly influenced individual ethics regarding Fetal tissue research or therapy. Ethical decision making is a dynamic process and individuals are not altogether consistent in their beliefs. The important public policy issues raised in this study concern the Rights of the dead fetus, whether these Rights are exploited through Fetal tissue therapy, and whether women's right of authority over the disposition of aborted Fetal tissue is abdicated.

  • Ethics in perinatal medicine: A global perspective.
    Seminars in fetal & neonatal medicine, 2015
    Co-Authors: Frank A Chervenak, Laurence B Mccullough
    Abstract:

    This article describes the professional responsibility model of perinatal ethics, which requires the perinatologist in all cases to identify and balance beneficence-based and autonomy-based obligations to the pregnant patient, beneficence-based obligations to the Fetal patient, and beneficence-based obligations to the neonatal patient. We explain how this model avoids the clinical failure of both Fetal and maternal Rights-based reductionism, i.e., insistence either on unlimited Fetal Rights or on unlimited maternal Rights, respectively. The professional responsibility model of perinatal ethics provides the basis for the transnational clinical ethical concept of healthcare justice, which requires that beneficence-based obligations to all patients be routinely fulfilled by providing them with an evidence-based standard of care. We then show how healthcare justice can be used to identify and address ethically unacceptable allocation of healthcare resources. The professional responsibility model of perinatal ethics creates an important role for the perinatologist as responsible advocate for pregnant, Fetal, and neonatal patients.

  • the professional responsibility model of obstetrical ethics avoiding the perils of clashing Rights
    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Frank A Chervenak, Laurence B Mccullough, Robert L Brent
    Abstract:

    Obstetric ethics is sometimes represented by polarized views. One extreme asserts the Rights of the fetus as the overwhelming ethical consideration. Another extreme asserts the pregnant woman as the overwhelming ethical consideration. Both assertions are overly simplistic. Such oversimplification is called reductionism. This article explains the fallacy of Rights-based reductionism and 2 models of obstetric ethics based on it and explains why the Fetal Rights reductionism model and the pregnant woman's Rights reductionism model result in conceptual and clinical failure and therefore should be abandoned. The article argues for the professional responsibility model of obstetric ethics, which emphasizes the importance of medical science and compassionate clinical care of both the pregnant and Fetal patient. The result is that responsible medical care overrides the extremes of clashing Rights.

  • an ethically justified framework for clinical investigation to benefit pregnant and Fetal patients
    American Journal of Bioethics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Frank A Chervenak, Laurence B Mccullough
    Abstract:

    Research to improve the health of pregnant and Fetal patients presents ethical challenges to clinical investigators, institutional review boards, funding agencies, and data safety and monitoring boards. The Common Rule sets out requirements that such research must satisfy but no ethical framework to guide their application. We provide such an ethical framework, based on the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient. We offer criteria for innovation and for Phase I and II and then for Phase III clinical trials to improve the health of pregnant patients and of Fetal patients and also criteria to responsibly manage the transition from investigation to clinical practice. Basing ethical criteria for research involving pregnant women on the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient insulates the proposed ethical framework and therefore research on pregnant women from the divisive and politicized concepts and discourses of personhood, Fetal Rights, and unborn child.
