However, I do know that if they induced labor on a woman that was suffering from pulmonary hypertension, it would almost certainly amount to a death sentence. I couldn't imagine that it also wouldn't be considered malpractice.
I would like to ask someone with professional training or clinical experience, e.g. high-risk obstetrician, about that.
Just guessing, it would seem to me that in the case of a pregnant patient with pulmonary hypertension,
I'm not sure that any of the first three would permit the delivery of a baby that would live even for a few moments; all of these 4 procedues would terminate the pregnancy and prevent the mother's death (hopefully, but even this is not certain); only the last one would do so by intentionally attacking the child. And in this case, even prescinding from the ethical question of dismembering a patient to cause death, there would be the additional stress (to the mother) that she knows they are intentionally mutilating her baby to facilitate compete evacuation.
It would help, in an extreme situation like this where any course of action entails grim risks, if a knowledgeable and ethically well-trained person (LadyDoc?) would supply more accurate information, as well as some idea of other options? What's out there on the management-of-high-risk-pregnancy frontiers?
