Preventing Prenatal Harm - Should the State Intervene?

The Clinical Medical Ethics series explores central themes and issues in bioethics and health care policy in single-author short volumes. Written to be accessible to physicians, nurses, lawyers, and those working on health policy, not just specialists in ethics or bioethics, each volume offers a new approach to the subject matter and provides a synthetic account of complex literature.

Riassunto

Arguing that the state must meet strict conditions to justify interfering in at-risk pregnancies, this book examines the legal and ethical concerns that arise when governments mandate the behavior of pregnant women. It incorporates court decisions, especially cases involving substance abuse.
