Abstract

Ethics is an essential dimension of perinatal genetics. This article introduces perinatologists to the ethical principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy and uses these ethical principles to articulate the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient. Together these constitute an ethical framework that we apply to risk assessment, in response to which women may be divided into four groups: prenatal genetic counseling, and the responsible management of pregnancies complicated by genetic anomalies of the fetus.

摘要

伦理学是围产遗传学的一个重要维度。本文向围产学家介绍了行善和尊重自主性这两条伦理学原则，并使用这些原则阐述了将胎儿视为患者的伦理概念。这两条原则共同构成了我们用于风险评估的伦理框架，根据这一框架，我们可以将女性分为以下 4 组：进行产前遗传咨询，以及对胎儿存在遗传异常的妊娠进行负责任的管理。
