Increasing use of antenatal screening and genetic testing has created the circumstance of a woman who finds herself pregnant with a fetus that is known to be unsound. Some practitioners have become so concerned about the prospect of the less-than-perfect fetus that they have projected their personal desires into the care that they provide, thereby eliminating the possibility of following the natural history of the pregnancy. To serve the needs of these patients, a perinatal hospice service has been created.
