Article Abstract
Obstetric anesthesiologists can use the tenets of principlism to identify ethically supportable decisions. This approach begins with recognizing and upholding the fiduciary obligations that every physician has to their patient. For the pregnant patient, these obligations are both autonomy- and beneficence-based. Additional beneficence-based obligations arise in cases where the fetus is also considered a patient. Ethical dilemmas result from conflict between any of these obligations. A shared decision-making model that incorporates the foundational principles of ethics can be used to resolve these conflicts, leaving clinicians and patients confident that a sound decision-making process has taken place and an ethically supportable decision has been reached.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in health care. Without an ethically supportable, standard approach to knowing when patients should be informed about AI, hospital systems and clinicians run the risk of fostering mistrust among their patients and the public. Therefore, hospital leaders need guidance on when to tell patients about the use of AI in their care.

Heritable human genome editing (HHGE) to correct a nuclear gene sequence that would result in a serious genetic condition in a future child is presented as 'treatment' in various ethics and policy materials, and as morally preferable to the 'selection' practice of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), which is subject to the disability critique. However, whether HHGE is 'treatment' for a future child, or another form of 'selection', or whether HHGE instead 'treats' prospective parents, are now central questions in the debate regarding its possible legalisation. This article argues that the idea of 'treatment' for a future child is largely a proxy for 'seriousness of purpose', intended to distinguish HHGE to avoid serious genetic conditions from less obviously justifiable uses; that HHGE is best understood, and morally justified, as a form of 'treatment' for prospective parents who strongly desire an unaffected genetically related child and who have no, or poor, options to achieve this; that HHGE would be morally permissible if consistent with that child's welfare; that legalisation is supportable with reference to the right to respect for private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights; and that HHGE is morally distinguishable from PGT.
