Projectomschrijving
Recent and expected technological developments in prenatal medicine raise new ethical challenges. The facilitation of in utero treatment because of advances in fetal therapy and artificial womb technology entail a panoply of normative questions about moral obligations to treat the fetus as a patient and how these relate to maternal autonomy. This project aims to contribute to this upcoming debate.
