醫學問題
|
即使人們漠視胚胎或胎兒，流產終歸是為孕婦實施的可能導致併發症的醫學手術。所以，人人都是有感情的，沒有多少人願意把流產當成一個加以鼓勵的純技術性的常規程式。
確實，有必要向任何尋求流產的婦女講清楚，讓她們明瞭自己正在考慮的醫學程式的真實含義，讓她們完全明白流產手術的可能風險。另外，還必須向她們提供心理諮詢服務，不僅要與她們分析尋求流產的心理動機，而且要分析一旦做完手術她們對此的可能心理反應。在一些國家，例如在德國，在任何合法流產手術之前，這樣的心理諮詢服務是強制性的。不管怎樣說，有資質能力的醫生或任何地方的流產門診部（請注意，在中國大陸的流產門診部，現在尚未開展這項服務。這是需要認真彌補的缺陷。——譯者注）都會提供這種服務，並會請他們的病人做出是否流產的最後決斷。 |

A Medical Issue
|
Even if one disregards the embryo or fetus,
an abortion is always a medical operation for the potential mother which may result in complications. Few sensitive people, therefore, would like to see the practice encouraged as a neutral routine procedure.
Indeed, it is necessary for any woman seeking an abortion to understand the medical procedure being considered in her case and to be fully aware of the possible risks. In addition, psychological counseling must be provided, not only about the woman's motives in seeking the abortion, but also about her possible reaction to it once it has taken place. In some countries, for example Germany, such psychological counseling is mandatory before any legal abortion. However competent doctors or abortion clinics anywhere will provide this service and leave any final decision to their patients. |
