Ethical Implications

Advances made in the field of genetics have positively contributed to the ability to screen for genetic diseases. Preimplantation genetic screening  (PGS) is a type of Reproductive Genetic Screening that involves day 5 embryo biopsies and DNA testing prior to embryo implantation in the uterus. Historically, this DNA testing was performed using fluorescent in situ hybridization. However, this was deemed ineffective, so new procedures involving methods such as array comparative genomic hybridization and real time polymerase chain reaction have been implemented. As PGS technology develops, ethical issues arise, as well as a need for further research.

Centered Care

This chapter applies the lens of woman-centered care to examine the complexity of ethical decision making involving technology in contemporary reproductive health settings. It begins by situating the discussion within an international perspective, revealing that pregnancy is still a highly risky state globally for women, including risk of abuse from both within and outside healthcare. The model of woman-centered care is presented as an ethical strategy to approach a woman considering reproductive options and decisions. Using this model and a series of vignettes, ethical issues involving technology in routine reproductive care during key periods are examined, including contraception and adolescence, genetic screening, woman-centered care in childbirth, technology in labor (induction, informed consent, fetal monitoring), human rights during labor, and infant feeding. Solutions beyond technology are also offered.

Screening Procedures

Newly discovered genes and advances in genetic screening programs prompt many questions reflecting the kinds of ethical dilemmas that go hand in hand with life-changing discoveries. Neonatal genetic screening has been a standard of care for some time, but as our knowledge in the field of genetics expands, should we continue with the same approach? What newborn genetic screening tests should be mandatory, and what are the long-range consequences associated with testing? This article reviews genetic modes of inheritance, outlines and explains the most common newborn screening tests, and enumerates the ethical issues associated with these screening procedures. The role of the neonatal nurse in the newborn genetic screening process is discussed.

The Brain

I discuss ethical issues relating to interventions other than intracranial surgery and psychopharmacology for psychiatric disorders. I question the distinction between “invasive” and “non-invasive” techniques applying electrical stimulation to the brain, arguing that this should be replaced by a distinction between more and less invasive techniques. I discuss electroconvulsive therapy (ECT); it can be a relatively safe and effective treatment for some patients with depression. I consider transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial current stimulation (tCS); the classification of these techniques as non-invasive may lead to underestimation of their risks. I discuss how placebos can justifiably be prescribed non-deceptively and even deceptively in clinical settings. An analysis of neurofeedback as the neuromodulating technique most likely to promote autonomy/control for some conditions follows. Finally, I examine biomarkers identified through genetic screening and neuroimaging; they might contribute to more accurate prediction and diagnosis, more effective treatment, and possibly prevention of psychiatric disorders.
