What Are Features of a Good Deliberation Process in Cases of Medically and Ethically Complex Pregnancies?

Abstract

Freedman and Stulberg’s (2013) “Conflicts in Care for Obstetric Complications in Catholic Hospitals” raises several interesting, important, and complex clinical and organizational ethics issues worthy of further exploration. I launch initial inquiry and offer suggestions for future scholarship and research into some of the topics inspired by the physician-subjects’ self-reports about the care they delivered and the deliberations about medically and ethically complex cases in which they were involved.
