Case Study
Jane Kenny was thirty-two years old, married for five years, and had just completed her first year of a fellowship in high-risk obstetrics when she became pregnant for the first time. She and her husband John, a third-year graduate student in molecular genetics, looked forward to parents. In the third trimester of her pregnancy, Jane began to have premature labor. Her doctor advised bed rest and prescribed a medication intended to prevent further…

Is There Life after Roe v. Wade
Mahowald's article is one of three in this issue of the Hastings Center Report under the overall title of "Abortion: searching for common ground." The articles were occasioned by the impending U.S. Supreme Court decision in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services (decided 3 Jul 1989), which was widely regarded as the Court's reconsideration of Roe v. Wade (1973). The debate in the United States over abortion has become intransigent and polarized …
Letting Go of the "Brain Dead"
Beyond Abortion
Social pressures and legal restrictions are proliferating against pregnant women. A dramatic infringement on women's rights is the court ordered cesarean section, as illustrated by the case of Angela C., a terminally ill cancer patient, 26 weeks pregnant, whose refusal of a cesarean section was overridden by a District of Columbia court. The premature infant and the mother died within two days. This case epitomizes a developing judicial pattern w…
Immunogenicity of Fetal Tissue
The Ethical Options in Transplanting Fetal Tissue
Fetal tissue transplants have now been successful in primates, raising the possibility of treatment for Parkinson's disease and other chronic illnesses. Whether or not abortion is morally justified, use of human fetal tissue for research or therapy is justified in certain circumstances. The rationale, both for permitting transplantation of fetal tissue and for limitations in exercising the technology, is based on the same set of ethical principle…
Sex-Role Stereotypes in Medicine
I argue for compatibility between feminism and medicine by developing a model of the physician-other relationship which is essentially egalitarian. This entails rejection of (a) a paternalistic model which reinforces sex-role stereotypes, (b) a maternalistic model which exclusively emphasizes patient autonomy, and (c) a model which focuses on the physician's conscience. The model I propose (parentalism) captures the complexity and dynamism of the…
Case Studies
A case study is presented in which an institutionalized, schizophrenic woman refuses the abortion her legal guardian wants her to have. Her psychiatrist considers her to be incapable of responsible parenthood, and her child would probably be placed in permanent foster care. Mahowald considers a legal determination of the woman's competence to be crucial, although she argues that even a legally incompetent person may be capable of moral decisions.…

Concepts of Abortion and Their Relevance to the Abortion Debate
Should Ethics Be Taught in a Science Course
The authors maintain that teaching moral values in science courses\nwill dilute both the ethical and scientific content. Science educators may\npoint out moral questions in their fields, but the actual teaching of ethics\nbelongs in ethics courses. (KIE abstract)
