Arguments and Analogies
Whether children have a right to know that they were created via "donated" gametes has generated debate for a quarter of a century. Pro-transparency theorists use policies and attitudes concerning adoption to argue for changes in regulations related to "donor" gametes. Anti-transparency theorists claim that discussions about whether children have a right to know their genetic origins must consider natural reproduction (and not just adoption). The…
The Assisted Reproduction of Race
Childbirth Is Not an Emergency
Most agree that informed consent must be obtained for medical procedures. Yet, empirical studies and anecdotal accounts show that women's right to informed consent and to refusal of treatment are routinely undermined or ignored during childbirth.

Whose Values? Whose Risk? Exploring Decision Making About Trial of Labor After Cesarean
Attunement and Involvement
In this essay, I argue that the daily practice of expert nurses goes far toward enacting the kind of patient autonomy feminist bioethicists envision. Nursing theorists often utilize philosophical theories in their work, but bioethicists have not paid much attention to nursing theory and what it means to be an expert nurse.

The Ethics of Vaginal Birth after Cesarean
The decline in providers and facilities that will allow a trial of labor after cesarean forces many women to choose a repeat cesarean. The choice is frequently not much of a choice, however, since the full range of options are often not on the table. This limited “choice” violates obstetricians' obligations both to respect patients' autonomy and to offer them good care. There has been a vigorous but so far not very fruitful debate in the last few…
