Medicine is a healing art and a science, in which communication between the physician
and the patient with appropriate informed consent is essential. Despite cultural, social,
national, and legal differences, the importance of ethical conduct and continual review
of ethical standards is universal in the profession of perinatal medicine. Ethics, which
has roots in philosophy, is an essential component of perinatal medicine and
addresses the questions, “what is right” and “what we ought to do” in particular clinical
circumstances. These questions should be answered on the basis of relevant clinical
ethical concepts. These questions should also be addressed on the basis of applicable
law, provided it meets international standards of justice and human rights. The General
Assembly of the European Association of Perinatal Medicine approves the following
GENERAL ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
