Abstract

Craniotomy as a surgical procedure used in the delivery of a fetus is subject to various moral judgments, some positive and some negative. This article gives consideration to two arguments offered for the moral legitimacy of the craniotomy. Each argument is closely examined and each is found to be flawed and hence inconclusive.
