INTRODUCTION With the advances in assisted reproduction technology (ART), parents now have more choices regarding how and when they start a family. In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been available for some time now as a way to help infertile individuals conceive. However, difficulty conceiving is not the only problem parents may encounter. Some may also face the probability of having a child afflicted with genetic disease. In the past, amniocentesis1 and chorionic villous sampling (CVS)2 were performed on fetuses to detect genetic disease or defects.

  • The Moral Roots of Prenatal Diagnosis Ethical Aspects of the Early Introduction and Presentation of Prenatal Diagnosis in Sweden
    The Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg Centre for Research Ethics Studies in Research Ethics No. 7 The Moral Roots of Prenatal Diagnosis Ethical Aspects of the Early Introduction and Presentation of Prenatal Diagnosis in Sweden Christian Munthe Göteborg 1996 1 STUDIES IN RESEARCH ETHICS Series Editor: Stellan Welin The Moral Roots of Prenatal Diagnosis Ethical Aspects of the Early Introduction and Presentation of Prenatal Diagnosis in Sweden Christian Munthe ABSTRACT Motives put forward by specialists on prenatal diagnosis in support of this proce- dure when it was introduced in Swedish health care during the 1970’s are de- scribed and analysed. The motives are set in relation later criticism of prenatal di- agnosis as well as general bioethical issues. Three motives are described: 1) Prenatal diagnosis is a tool for improving genetic counselling, thereby promoting the autonomy and reducing the anxieties of preg- nant women who fear having children with some disorder or disease. 2) The point of prenatal diagnosis is to effect medical prevention by reducing the number of children born with diseases or disorders. 3) Prenatal diagnosis has an eco- nomic advantage in that it may save society from some of the costs involved in the care for disabled or retarded people. These motives are found to communicate an unclear and partly inconsistent body of ethical values. First, complex ethical issues in connection with abortion were not addressed. Secondly, it is highly unclear how considerations of autonomy was weighed against considerations of well-being and economic aims. This unclear picture of the support of the autonomy of patients is also relevant when the economic motive is set in relation to accusations that prenatal diagnosis springs from similar moral values as eugenic policies of the past.

Thesis Chair ______________________________ Mark Foreman, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Linda Gregory, R.N., M.S.N. Committee Member ______________________________ Marilyn Gadomski, Ph.D. Assistant Honors Director ______________________________ Date HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL 3 Abstract Recently, there has been a growing controversy, especially among evangelicals, over whether the birth control pill might have an abortifacient mechanism that sometimes causes early chemical abortions. An understanding of this controversy necessitates a clear definition of abortion, abortifacient, pregnancy, implantation, and especially personhood. If a zygote (fertilized egg) is not a person, then it has no fundamental rights and there is essentially no debate concerning the possible link between birth control pills and abortion. There is strong indirect evidence of post-fertilization, or abortive, effects of hormonal birth control. If zygotes are people, and birth control pills do kill them, health professionals and the public, especially Christians, need to be informed about the situation. HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL 4 Hormonal Birth Control and Abortifacient Mechanisms Of the 64 million women in the U.S. who are of childbearing age, 62% of them use some form of contraception. Approximately 31% of women choose not to use contraception for either personal or health-related reasons, because they are trying to conceive, or because they are not sexually active.
