Pregnancy in a severely mentally handicapped adult

Abstract

At the coalface is an intermittent series in which readers relate an ethical dilemma they have experienced themselves in the course of their work, with as much or as little analysis as they wish. The journal is keen to publish such reports and any reader wishing to contribute should send his or her paper (500-3500 words) to the Editor, Journal of Medical Ethics, c/o Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, 14 Prince's Gardens, London SW7 1NA. Contributions can be published anonymously if the writer wishes.
