They have come to see that experimental trials must meet certain standards, not only of scientific rigour, but also of moral acceptability.\" (Introduction) \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Presented by an international group of experts, the eight essays included in this volume evaluate the new technologies in fetal care and also wrestle with the new problems, often moral ones, that have accompanied techonological advancement. The opening chapters review state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging and molecular genetics and focus on the new patient-the fetus. From here, the efficacy of fetal therapy, the problem of assessing long-term viability, the ethical issues involved in both clinical practice and medical research, and the legal rights of the new patients and their parents are examined. The final chapter \"Are Fetuses Becoming Children?\" brings a fresh philosophical perspective to the question of a fetus's status and rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarl Nimrod\u003c\/b\u003e is Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist at the University of Calgary Medical School.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eGlenn Griener\u003c\/b\u003e is an Assistant Professor in the Faculties of Medicine and Nursing and in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alberta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 24, 1988\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191463174451,"sku":"9780889209626","price":73.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/vx7VX2hesi9780889209626.webp?v=1775044723","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/biomedical-ethics-and-fetal-therapy-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
