The issues explored in this book have unfortunately come to be
known as 'maternal-fetal conflicts'. The phrase is unsatisfactory
because it is misleading: It places the emphasis on the well-being
of the fetus instead of on the born child (who will bear the burden
of any harm done prenatally); it assumes a conflict between a
pregnant women and her offspring (while the issue is usually more
complex and more broadly based); and it incorrectly implies that
all pregnant women are appropriately regarded as mothers. For these
reasons, I have chosen to avoid the phrase 'matern- fetal conflict'
altogether, and will instead speak in terms of 'preventable
prenatal harm'. I mention this at the outset, for those of you
familiar with 'maternal-fetal conflicts' who might be wondering if
I am addressing the same issues. Yes. But I am trying to look at
them in a new - and I hope more fruitful - way. I would like to
thank the other participants in the Hastings Center's
maternal-fetal project - especially those who disageed with me -
for being so thought-provoking. And I owe a lasting debt of
gratitude to Henry Ruth and Allen Buchanan for their invaluable
counsel.
