From the Paper:
"Through advances in medical technology, the opportunities for intervening with patient destiny by restoring heart beat and respiration or kidney function, among other symptoms, are both numerous and fascinating. However, some people may believe that their destiny should not be tampered with. The question of whether to give or withhold care is a moral decision which health care professionals must deal with. Client choices may be justified by the principle of self-determination, and other decisions may be justified by the principle of the patient's best interests. Further complications arise when a pregnant but competent mother makes decisions regarding her fetus that will probably bring harm to it. Since a fetus cannot speak for itself, the question arises as to who will speak for it."More papers on Pre-term Labor vs. Prenatal Harm:
