Abstract

Maternal-fetal conflict is a complex bioethical issue that evolves through the distinction of the fetus as a separate patient to the pregnant individual. The conflict is characterized by differences in best interest that may be competing between the developing fetus and the pregnant individual, particularly when respecting the autonomy of the pregnant patient may place the fetus at harm. When these conflicts take place within adolescent medicine, novel challenges arise due to factors unique to adolescence, including evolving autonomy, and balancing inherent vulnerability. This commentary explores some of these factors and how they uniquely shape adolescent maternal-fetal conflict. Further, it explores microethics, a field of bioethics that centers around the physician-patient relationship, as a mitigation tool that can be applied in cases of adolescent maternal-fetal conflict.
探讨青少年母胎冲突中的伦理考虑--通过微观伦理学的应用平衡伦理原则和青少年特有的因素
母胎冲突是一个复杂的生命伦理问题,它是通过将胎儿与孕妇区分为不同的病人而演变而来的。冲突的特点是发育中的胎儿和孕妇之间可能存在最佳利益的差异,尤其是当尊重孕妇的自主权可能会使胎儿受到伤害时。当这些冲突发生在青春期医学领域时,由于青春期特有的因素,包括不断发展的自主性和平衡固有的脆弱性,会产生新的挑战。本评论探讨了其中的一些因素,以及它们如何独特地形成青少年母婴冲突。此外,它还探讨了微观伦理学,这是一个以医患关系为中心的生命伦理学领域,是一种可用于缓解青少年母婴冲突的工具。
