Ethics is an essential component of fetal research. From definitions of medical ethics and the ethical principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy, we identify the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient. We then identify major components of research ethics. On these 2 bases, we identify ethically justified criteria for initiating study of innovative fetal interventions, for randomized trials in fetal research, for making the clinical, scientific, and ethical judgment that fetal research has produced a new standard of care, and for stopping rules for fetal research.
伦理学是胎儿研究的一个重要组成部分。从医学伦理学的定义和有利和尊重自主权的伦理原则出发，我们将胎儿的伦理概念确定为患者。然后，我们确定研究伦理学的主要组成部分。在此基础上，我们确定了启动创新性胎儿干预研究、在胎儿研究中进行随机试验、对胎儿研究产生新的护理标准的临床、科学和伦理判断，以及胎儿研究的终止规则的伦理依据。
