Obstetrics and gynecology continues to experience fiscal pressures that challenge its core missions. In such an increasingly economically unforgiving environment, philanthropy will become a major source of revenue. This article provides ethical guidance for seeking philanthropic gifts by translating ethical theory into practice. The basis for this guidance is an account of the ethics of philanthropy that identifies both its consequentialist and deontologic components and shows their relevance to the ethical significance of donors' motivations and directiveness. The prevention of abuse of vulnerable donors and of distortions of the physician-patient relationship is emphasized. Ethics is an essential component of the responsible solicitation of philanthropic support from donors.
妇产科继续面临财政压力，这对其核心使命构成挑战。在这种经济环境日益严峻的情况下，慈善事业将成为主要的收入来源。本文通过将伦理理论转化为实践，为寻求慈善捐赠提供了伦理指导。该指导的基础是对慈善伦理的说明，其中既包括后果论成分，也包括义务论成分，并展示了它们与捐赠者动机和直接性的伦理意义之间的相关性。本文强调要防止滥用弱势捐赠者和扭曲医患关系。伦理学是从捐赠者那里负责任地征求慈善支持的一个重要组成部分。
