Because I find Jane to be one patient and not two separate individuals, it is my stance that she is the one that the principle of respect for autonomy applies. That is, as the fetus’s host, Jane should be the only one that is able to make choices in regard to the fetus.

Walker and Avant (2005) present a strategy for analyzing concepts in a comprehensive manner to present new theories and a common definition for different concepts.
