Sperling addresses the legal and ethical issues of maintaining the life of a brain-dead pregnant woman on life-support. He analyzes whether a brain-dead woman should be kept alive only for the sake of the fetus and what the motivations to do so are, by looking at legal situations involving pregnancy, including American and Canadian abortion law, advanced directives, and the use of cadavers for organ transplantation; the moral and legal status of the fetus; relational feminist theory; and the moral duties of a pregnant woman. He then discusses some legal cases and their application to the Canadian system. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
