Özet: Medicine is a healing art and a science, in which communication between the physician and the patient with appropriate informed consent is essential. Despite cultural, social, national, and legal differences, the importance of ethical conduct and continual review of ethical standards is universal in the profession of perinatal medicine. Ethics, which has roots in philosophy, is an essential component of perinatal medicine and addresses the questions, “what is right” and “what we ought to do” in particular clinical circumstances. These questions should be answered on the basis of relevant clinical ethical concepts. These questions should also be addressed on the basis of applicable law, provided it meets international standards of justice and human rights. The General Assembly of the European Association of Perinatal Medicine approves the following GENERAL ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
