This volume brings together an unusually broad range of experts from reproductive medicine, medical ethics, and law to address the important ethical problems in maternal-fetal medicine which impact directly on clinical practice. The book is divided into parts by the stages of pregnancy, within which the authors cover four main areas: the balance of power in the doctor-patient relationship and the justifiable limits of paternalism and autonomy; the impact of new technologies and new diseases; disability and enhancement; and difference--to what extent should the clinician respect the tenets of other faiths in a multicultural society.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is an important new text, not only for clinicians working in the field of human reproduction, but also for philosophers, ethicists and lawyers. Each chapter provides a thought-provoking essay on a contemporary issue relating to reproductive medicine that could well constitute the course work of a medical ethics major." Journal of Paediatric Child Health
"This book is to be commended both for the breadth of the intellectual and clinical area it surveys and for its interesting, interdisciplinary mix of...writers." Medical Humanities Review

Book Description
In this book a broad range of experts from reproductive medicine, medical ethics and law address the ethical problems in maternal-fetal medicine which impact directly on clinical practice. Divided into parts by the stages of pregnancy, the book covers four main areas: 1. the balance of power in the doctor patient relationship; 2. the impact of new technologies and diseases; 3. the 'designer baby'; and 4. cultural, religious difference. The focus is to unite analytic philosophy and actual practice for clinicians involved in human reproduction.
