This study explores moral conflicts between pregnant women and fetuses, suggesting a care orientation focused on relationships over rights for resolving gestational issues. It argues this perspective is distinct from standard impartialist moral theories.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Moral Philosophy
  • Reproductive Ethics

Background:

  • Assigning full moral rights to fetuses generates significant moral conflict.
  • Mary Anne Warren's "one person, one skin" argument highlights these ethical dilemmas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reframe the debate on gestational conflicts by emphasizing relationships over rights.
  • To explore a "care orientation" as a framework for resolving conflicts between pregnant women and fetuses.
  • To assess the compatibility of a care orientation with standard impartialist moral theory.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical analysis of ethical claims regarding fetal rights.
  • Development of a care orientation framework for gestational conflict resolution.
  • Critical examination of impartialist moral theories in the context of reproductive ethics.

Main Results:

  • A care orientation offers an alternative to rights-based approaches in gestational conflicts.
  • This perspective prioritizes the significance of partiality and particularity in ethical decision-making.
  • The care orientation's focus on relationships challenges its absorption into impartialist moral frameworks.

Conclusions:

  • Shifting from a rights-based to a care-based approach can provide new insights into resolving conflicts in pregnancy.
  • The care orientation, valuing specific relationships and contexts, offers a distinct ethical lens.
  • Standard impartialist moral theories may not adequately capture the nuances of a care-based ethical framework for reproductive decisions.
