The fetus as a patient: an essential concept for the ethics of perinatal medicine
Am J Perinatol.
2003 Nov.
Abstract
This article celebrates the professional life and contributions of Dr. Peter Auld, a founder of perinatal medicine. To this end we describe the essential concept of the fetus as a patient, based on two core ethical principles, beneficence and respect for autonomy. We explore the implications of this concept for perinatal medicine.
