Trust As the Foundation for Informed Decision‐Making in Prenatal Genetic Screening and Diagnostic Testing
Prioritizing Women's Health in Germline Editing Research
Although women are inextricably involved in the study of germline editing, their interests have not been significantly represented in debates about the evolution of genome editing technology. Discussions have taken place about effects of germline editing on women as parents and members of families, but key discussions about women's health and well-being as patients and subjects are lacking. This neglect is due in part to restrictions on uterine t…
Balancing Needs and Autonomy
Cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) screening is used to identify the presence of fetal genetic variants early in pregnancy. Patients' informed decision-making is central to the success of this new screen in clinical practice. Although research has focused on pregnant women's decision-making, little is known about partners' role and preferences as a member of the decision-making dyad. Using a grounded theory approach, this study analyzed 23 in-depth inte…

The Ethics of Access
Much of the discourse in the bioethics literature on what is often called “cesarean delivery on maternal request” has focused on balancing respect for patient autonomy with attention to the short‐ and long‐term risks of this procedure to maternal and neonatal well‐being. And while there has been some analysis of the social and economic costs inherent in performing cesareans, much of the clinical and ethical analysis has concluded that, given the …

Emerging Ethical Issues in Reproductive Medicine
Advocates for the professionalization of clinical bioethics argue that bioethics professionals play an important role in contemporary medicine and patient care, especially when addressing complex ethical questions that arise in the delivery of reproductive medicine. For bioethics consultants to serve effectively, they need adequate training in the medical and ethical issues that patients and clinicians will face, and they need skills to facilitat…
Incorporating Genetic Testing Ancestry Results into Medical Decisions
Case Ms. Stewart was eagerly awaiting her upcoming trip to Boston to celebrate her parents’ fiftieth wedding anniversary. She had grown up in a large Irish family, with two brothers and two sisters, but she rarely got to see them since moving to Oregon for her job. She was especially looking forward to seeing her sister Anna, who was recovering from a mastectomy after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer several months earlier
Pandemic Influenza and Pregnancy
Large-scale infectious epidemics present the medical community with numerous medical and ethical challenges. Recent attention has focused on the likelihood of an impending influenza pandemic caused by the H5N1 virus. Pregnant women in particular present policymakers with great challenges to planning for such a public health emergency. By recognizing the specific considerations needed for this population, we can preemptively address the issues pre…
