Clinicians’ criteria for fetal moral status: viability and relationality, not sentience

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2022
The antiabortion movement is increasingly using ostensibly scientific measurements such as ‘fetal heartbeat’ and ‘fetal pain’ to provide ‘objective’ evidence of the moral status of fetuses. However, there is little knowledge on how clinicians conceptualise and operationalise the moral status of fetuses.

1976
The issue of the legal aspects of fetal viability is an important one for those involved in the practice of genetic counseling. Amniocentesis is usually performed after the 14th week of pregnancy.

Fetal growth and perinatal viability in California.

Obstetrics and gynecology, 1982
To produce more appropriate information for evaluating fetal growth and viability, vital records data were used to compute percentile curves and perinatal, neonatal, and fetal mortality rates at specific birth weights and gestational ages. Percentile values were in good agreement with previous studies, and the large number of births (2,288,806) allowed

Quantitative Estimation of Cryopreservation Viability in Rat Fetal Hippocampal Cells

Experimental Neurology, 1994
Cryopreserved fetal tissue may be useful for neural grafting, but quantitation of yield is crucial for estimating cell transplant requirements. We have assessed cell survival and viability following dissociation, cryopreservation, and culture of rat fetal hippocampus to estimate cell yields at all stages of preparation.

The diagnosis of fetal hydrocephalus before viability.

Obstetrics and gynecology, 1977
A diagnosis of fetal hydrocephalus was made before viability. The diagnosis was indicated by a discrepancy between the sonographic fetal head size, the uterine size by both clinical and sonographic examination, and x-ray films. An abortion was performed by hysterotomy.

Early pregnancy, 2002
According to Websters Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language, viable of a fetus it means having reached such a stage of development as to be capable of living, under normal conditions, outside the uterus. Viability exists as a function of biomedical and technological capacities, which are different in different parts of the world ...
