Summary
Few areas of medicine raise issues more contentious than those generated by the intersection of health care and reproduction. From decisions about disposal of reproductive tissue, to the provision of contraception and abortion, to delivery decisions at the threshold of fetal viability, to issues about intervention and care in pregnancies to be carried to term, the potential for disagreement – and deep disagreement – may lead to requests for input from healthcare ethics committees (HECs).
