Ethical challenges in invasive maternal-fetal intervention.

The field of maternal-fetal intervention is rapidly progressing and with it comes new and often complex ethical considerations that must be addressed. The purpose of this article is to review the ethical issues that arise in maternal-fetal intervention. We will provide two clinical scenarios and discuss the ethical issues related to each scenario and how they were addressed. We will also provide a list of recommended resources that any institutional offering maternal-fetal intervention should have in place to meet the ethical obligations of such work.
