The Illusion Of Autonomy In Women's Medical Decision-Making, Jamie Abrams
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article considers why there is not more conflict between women and their doctors in obstetric decision-making. While patients in every other medical context have complete autonomy to refuse treatment against medical advice, elect high-risk courses of action, and prioritize their own interests above any other decision-making metric, childbirth is viewed anomalously because of the duty to the fetus that the state and the doctor owe at birth.
