Recent advances in medical technology have provided healthcare
staff with the possibility of maintaining the life of a brain-dead
pregnant woman on life-support in order to achieve successful
delivery of the foetus. Management of Post-Mortem Pregnancy
examines the legal and ethical difficulties surrounding such
post-mortem management. Offering practical guidance based on a
combined analysis of similar situations that affect pregnant
women's lifestyle and physical condition and of the legal framework
of pregnancy clauses in advance directive legislation, the volume
considers pregnant women's obligations towards their foetuses. It
discusses the main moral, legal, psychological, religious,
spiritual and physical aspects of the question on the interests of
dead people, as well as the jurisprudential question of the foetus'
interests. The book will be a valuable guide for all those involved
with the decision-making process of such tragic cases. It will also
be of wider use to anyone with an interest in legal, ethical and
bio-medical issues.
