Help for a paper regarding prematurity/viability/ethics

[chprout]

This is for my ethics class. I am doing a paper on premature infants, the age of viability, and the ethics of how far we should go. I am looking for any good resources, articles, etc, even personal accounts. Please contact me via pm, or via a posting here.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I suggest that you do a search on the NICU forum, you will find quite a bit of information on this topic. (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)

Good luck with your project. :)

You might want to start out by reviewing some of the threads on the NICU forum. Many of these issues have been discussed at length on this BB. The March of Dimes, and AWHONN may have helpful information on their websites. Good luck!
