Modern medical technology has given us the ability to directly observe the fetus and its state of health. This ability has allowed the fetus to be newly individuated and has supported what often are called conflicts between the fetus and the pregnant woman. This article examines the nature of some of these conflicts and offers support for ethical theories and principles that assume that the pregnant woman is the appropriate decision maker for treatment involving her body and that if she is given support and comprehensible information, her decisions will be in the best interests of her family.
现代医学技术使我们有能力直接观察胎儿及其健康状况。这种能力使胎儿有了新的个体身份，并引发了常被称为胎儿与孕妇之间的冲突。本文探讨了其中一些冲突的本质，并支持一些伦理理论和原则，这些理论和原则假定孕妇是涉及自身身体治疗的合适决策者，并且如果给予她支持和易于理解的信息，她的决定将符合其家庭的最大利益。
