医学问题

即使人们漠视胚胎或胎儿，流产终归是为孕妇实施的可能导致并发症的医学手术。所以，人人都是有感情的，没有多少人愿意把流产当成一个加以鼓励的纯技术性的常规程序。
确实，有必要向任何寻求流产的妇女讲清楚，让她们明了自己正在考虑的医学程序的真实含义，让她们完全明白流产手术的可能风险。另外，还必须向她们提供心理咨询服务，不仅要与她们分析寻求流产的心理动机，而且要分析一旦做完手术她们对此的可能心理反应。在一些国家，例如在德国，在任何合法流产手术之前，这样的心理咨询服务是强制性的。不管怎样说，有资质能力的医生或任何地方的流产门诊部（请注意，在中国大陆的流产门诊部，现在尚未开展这项服务。这是需要认真弥补的缺陷。——译者注）都会提供这种服务，并会请他们的病人做出是否流产的最后决断。 |

Abortion

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. |
