Perinatal hospice is a novel form of care for an unborn child who
has been diagnosed with a significantly life-limiting condition. In
this book, Aaron D. Cobb develops a virtue-based defense of the
value of perinatal hospice. He characterizes its promotion and
provision as a common project of individuals, local communities,
and institutions working together to provide exemplary care.
Engaging with important themes from the work of Alasdair MacIntyre
and Robert Adams, he shows how perinatal hospice manifests virtues
crucial to meeting the needs of families in these difficult
circumstances. As a work of applied virtue ethics, this book has
important normative, social, and political implications for the
creation and development of structured programs of care. It grounds
the view that communities ought (i) to devote resources to ensure
that these programs are widely available and (ii) to develop social
structures that promote awareness of and accessibility to these
forms of care. A Virtue-Based Defense of Perinatal Hospice will be
of interest to philosophers working in bioethics and applied virtue
ethics, as well as scholars in the fields of neonatology, nursing,
palliative and hospice care, and counseling who are interested in
the study of perinatal hospice.
