> doesn't mean that doctors all of a sudden can act against the best interests of their patients
The article says a healthcare specialist recommended that course of action.
- jacquesm 4y agoDid you miss this bit? "But all three women said they were told by prison medical providers they were being induced because it was a policy of the Arizona Department of Corrections for all pregnant incarcerated women, not due to their individual conditions."
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoI missed that. I think that if they did harm to the women or their babies they should be sued. Do you think they were harmed?
- jacquesm 4y agoNo, that does not matter. Risk by itself is enough and there is no such thing as a medical procedure without risk. Induced delivery is fine if and only if it improves the chances of mother and baby, even if in the end everything goes fine. Utilitarian arguments and ethics don't mix.
