The marginally viable newborn: legal challenges, conceptual inadequacies, and reasonableness.

Sadath A Sayeed1.   

Abstract

Decisions to provide life-sustaining medical care for marginally viable newborns present a unique set of morally complex challenges for providers and parents in the United States. This article examines recent legal trends that restrict discretionary decision-making, and critiques commonly employed ethical justifications offered to support permitting such discretion.
