Decision making in modem obstetrics and perinatology is con trolled
by a variety of different factors, but there is little doubt that
in industrialized countries one of the most powerful single factors

unborn and newborn. The dramatic increase in the rates of abdom

substantial part in the bstetrician's concern not so much about
possible perinatal death, but more so about permanent brain dam age
in surviving children. This trend has been accelerated by the
increasing number of litigations in connection with brain damage
observed in many societies. This problem itself has many aspects,
but it seems evident that litigation - justified or unjustified -
is one modem expression of the human and social tragedy inflicted
on individuals and families by the birth of a brain-damaged child.
The medical, social, and human importance of the problem is in
sharp contrast to the relative lack of scientific knowledge avail

published the excellent review in 1985 on "Prenatal and Perinatal
Factors Associated with Brain Disorders" and its editor, J. M."
