Pregnancy Women and Fetuses

The topic that I may want to do research on is pregnancy because nurse midwifery is the field that I would like to concentrate in.
Termination of Pregnancy
The Office of Extramural Research states “pregnant women should include no inducements to terminate the pregnancy and the researcher should have no part in any decision to terminate a pregnancy” (2005). I agree that the researchers should not try to initialize any termination of pregnancy; however, the women that are a part of this study could possible lose their child because of a study. Moreover, there are studies are done to compare the “…effectiveness, safety and acceptability of medical abortion practiced at home and in clinic” I believe termination of pregnancy is a personal matter and should not be influenced by anyone but the parents of the fetus. I am aware that these women that are a part of that study want to abort there child, but researchers are still not allowed to induce the termination of a pregnancy. I think this means they cannot insinuate to the women to get an abortion, but they can ask women who want to abort their child and want to participate.

Protection: “Research conducted with pregnant women should have the potential to directly benefit the woman or the fetus”
Exercising While Pregnant
Women that are a part of a study have to have additional protection because it affects the women and fetus. I agree that they should have additional protection, but I do not think consent forms are enough. I think a woman that is not pregnant should be tested on before the women that are pregnant during experiments pertaining to exercise in order to pinpoint potential side effects that the pregnant woman might have. The study might ask the...
