Abstract

Inside and outside of a Christian worldview, bioethicists have discussed ectopic pregnancy at some length as a maternal-fetal vital conflict. Most bioethicists agree that methotrexate and salpingostomy are low-risk, successful interventions for this life-threatening pathology, and are thus beneficent, just, and wholly acceptable. A small cohort of Christian, largely Catholic, bioethicists have reservations about methotrexate and salpingostomy, but cannot resolve their internal disputes about these because of flawed casuistry. This paper aims to settle the issue about whether methotrexate and salpingostomy are acceptable within a Catholic worldview: despite the best arguments in favor of methotrexate as a moral option, it is morally unacceptable, and despite hesitation about salpingostomy related to analogies with previable delivery, it is the optimal procedure for ectopic pregnancy.
作为先兆流产的宫外孕
在基督教世界观的内部和外部,生命伦理学者都对宫外孕这一母婴生命冲突进行了较长时间的讨论。大多数生命伦理学者都认为,甲氨蝶呤和输卵管造口术是针对这种威胁生命的病症的低风险、成功的干预措施,因此是有益的、公正的和完全可以接受的。一小部分基督教生物伦理学家,主要是天主教生物伦理学家,对氨甲喋呤和盐皮质激素有保留意见,但由于案例分析的缺陷,他们无法解决内部的争议。本文旨在解决氨甲喋呤和输卵管造口术在天主教世界观中是否可以接受的问题:尽管有最好的论据支持氨甲喋呤作为一种道德选择,但它在道德上是不可接受的;尽管对输卵管造口术与早产的类比存在犹豫,但它是治疗异位妊娠的最佳手术。
