| Abstract (English): |
Induced fetal asystole presents some of the most ethically and clinically complex dilemmas in maternal-fetal medicine, especially when it comes to late-term abortions. Although advances in prenatal diagnostics have improved early detection and informed decision-making possibilities, equitable access to safe and dignified care remains a significant challenge, especially in settings with unclear or inconsistent legal frameworks and clinical guidelines. This essay examines the complexities of induced fetal asystole in Mexico, drawing on ethical principles, comparative legal analysis, and international experiences. The essay emphasizes the necessity of institutional protocols that are context-sensitive, ethically grounded, and aimed at safeguarding the rights and well-being of patients and healthcare providers alike. Through structured reflection, the essay contributes to the ongoing dialogue about reproductive justice, clinical safety, and shared responsibility in gestational care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
La asistolia fetal inducida representa uno de los dilemas más complejos en la medicina materno-fetal, tanto en el plano ético como clínico, especialmente en el contexto de la interrupción del embarazo en etapas avanzadas. Si bien los avances en el diagnóstico prenatal han ampliado las posibilidades de detección temprana y toma de decisiones oportunas, el acceso equitativo a una atención segura y digna sigue siendo limitado, particularmente en contextos donde los marcos legales y las guías clínicas son ambiguos o inconsistentes. Este ensayo analiza los desafíos relacionados con la asistolia fetal inducida en México, a partir de principios éticos, análisis legal comparado y experiencias internacionales. Se subraya la necesidad de establecer protocolos institucionales sensibles al contexto, con fundamentos éticos sólidos y orientados a proteger los derechos y el bienestar de las pacientes y del personal de salud. Mediante esta reflexión se busca contribuir a la discusión continua de los derechos reproductivos, seguridad clínica y responsabilidad compartida en la atención del embarazo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
