Federal regulations governing research with human subjects have limited a pregnant woman's authority to decide to participate in research since 1975 by requiring the consent of the fetus's father. Recognition of pregnant women's legal rights has increased since then, in particular, their right to be treated no differently from other adults. In 1998 the Department of Health and Human Services proposed amendments to these regulations that recognize women as the sole decision makers in this area and eliminate requirements for paternal consent. These regulations have not been adopted, however.
自1975年以来，管理人体研究的联邦法规通过要求胎儿父亲的同意，限制了孕妇决定参与研究的权力。从那时起，对孕妇合法权利的承认有所增加，特别是她们享有与其他成年人同等对待的权利。1998年，卫生与公众服务部提议对这些法规进行修订，承认女性是这一领域的唯一决策者，并取消对父亲同意的要求。然而，这些法规尚未被采纳。
