Due to advances in prenatal techniques, it is now possible to diagnose malformations in utero, such as anencephaly, which in the past was only known at birth. Having knowledge of a malformation before birth, the moment in which almost every individual obtains social and legal protection, puts the malformed fetus in a vulnerable situation toward possible actions that lead to the interruption of pregnancy. The aim of this article is to analyze different positions about the quality and reality of the anencephalic fetus, its human condition and the care that the fetus and mother deserve.
由于产前技术的进步，现在有可能在子宫内诊断出畸形，比如无脑儿，而在过去这只有在出生时才为人所知。在几乎每个人都能获得社会和法律保护的出生前这一时刻就知晓畸形情况，会使畸形胎儿面临可能导致终止妊娠行为的脆弱处境。本文的目的是分析关于无脑儿胎儿的性质与现实、其人类状态以及胎儿和母亲应得护理的不同观点。
