Mothers' dilemma - conducting delivery on the limits of the foetus viability. Case Report

Ethical questions concerning problems of conducting delivery of enormously immature foetuses are subjected to intensive discussion and call for a permanent and wide consideration with the participation of all specialists, who are involved in the problem. The discussions have persisted over tens of years and became intensive particularly at the moment of defining the foetus viability. In the present contribution, the author illustrates the discussion by two selected case reports exemplifying the practical impact of conducting deliveries of enormously immature foetuses on the physician and particularly on the family.
