Matters of concern include whether to continue the support or let the patient die, who is the responsible decision maker, should one act in the interest of mother or foetus, the use of an individual as an object or incubator and the decision to burden an intensive care unit and utilise resources on one patient at the cost of many other patients with common, less serious conditions.77 The latter would apply mainly to resource-limited settings where the budget for health care is spread thin.
