Reviews

'The book covers important topics including induced abortion and feticide, the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient and conscientious objection ... It is fair to say that parts of the book will be best suited to those with a working knowledge of medical ethics and the terminology it employs.' Aarthi Mohan, The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist 'The book includes an extensive glossary of key concepts. The authors also provide the historical context for modern practice, recognizing the inherent imbalance of power in the practitioner/female patient relationship, and emphasizing the need for continued professional guidance to create a culture of shared respect and commitment to ethical morality in this practice. An excellent reference for midwives, nurse practitioners, medical students, residents, and OB/GYN physicians/specialists.' S. W. Gustafson, Choice
