Abstract

Ethical medical care of pregnant women in Australia should include the real provision of information regarding the risks and benefits of vaginal birth. Routinely obtaining consent for the different ways in which childbirth is commonly intervened on and the assistance involved (such as midwife-led care or a planned caesarean section) and providing sufficient information for women to evaluate the harms and benefits of the care on offer, would not only enable the empowerment of women but would align with the current standard of care as established by Rogers v Whittaker.

披露和同意：确保有关分娩信息的道德提供。

澳大利亚孕妇的道德医疗护理应包括真正提供关于阴道分娩的风险和益处的信息。对于通常干预分娩的不同方式和所涉及的协助（如助产士主导的护理或计划剖腹产），定期获得同意，并为妇女提供足够的信息，以评估所提供的护理的危害和益处，这不仅能够赋予妇女权力，而且与罗杰斯诉惠特克案建立的现行护理标准保持一致。
