Description

Ethics in Midwifery by Shirley R. Jones provides a clear understanding of the principles and realities of ethics in midwifery practice today. This book explores how ethical theory applies to real-life situations, including confidentiality, autonomy, screening, abortion, assisted conception, and withholding treatment. Through case studies and detailed analysis, this publication helps students and practicing midwives develop their skills in applying ethical thought and action in their daily work. A new chapter on conscientious objection to participation in abortion has been added, as well as a new chapter on withholding and withdrawing treatment, particularly in relation to neonates. This updated edition includes revised sections from Part One and a new chapter on the ethical dimensions of the midwife's role, with an emphasis on the midwife as a researcher.
