人工流产和中期引产不仅是一个医学问题,而且也是一个重大的伦理学问题。因医学指征需要进行的人工流产,最大限度地保护母亲的健康,避免有严重畸形的新生儿出生的悲剧发生,可以得到伦理学的辩护。但非医学指征需要进行的人工流产是应当仔细区分的。产前诊断技术的运用,使得孕中晚期,发现胎儿非严重的畸形后出现医疗纠纷和要求引产的案例增加,从敬畏和保护生命的原则出发,应当开展生命伦理教育,严格掌握人工流产的适应证。 Induced abortion and mid-term abortion are not only a medical issue, but also a major ethical issue. Evidence of ethics can be defended by the need for abortion for medical indications, maximum protection of the mother’s health, and avoidance of the tragedy of the birth of a severely deformed newborn. However, abortion that is not required for medical indications should be carefully distinguished. The application of prenatal diagnosis technology makes the cases of medical malpractice and induction of labor increase when the fetus is found with non-serious deformity in the second trimester of pregnancy. From the principles of awe and protection of life, education of bioethics should be carried out and the abortion should be strictly controlled certificate.
