The present discussion characterizes the three main arguments offered against her proposal as (a) the \u201cuncertainty principle''\u2014the inability to predict which fetuses will be affected, (b) the \u201cfather factor\u201d\u2014gender bias with respect to prenatal damage, and (c) \u201ccritical periods\u201d\u2014the vulnerability of the embryo\/fetus at different times of pregnancy. Each of these arguments is examined in the specific context of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Since the birth of a child with FAS is a virtual certainty if a woman has previously given birth to a child with FAS, since no father has ever sired a child with FAS unless his spouse is an alcoholic, and since the most damaging effects are those associated with exposure throughout and especially late in pregnancy, none of the arguments offered against Mathieu's proposal are relevant in this particularly narrow set of circumstances. While Mathieu's proposal seems pertinent in this situation, her proposal would be even more effective if modified as suggested here.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0730938400012107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,8]],"date-time":"2017-02-08T11:26:26Z","timestamp":1486553186000},"page":"113-117","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Protecting Fetuses from Certain Harm"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ernest L.","family":"Abel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.80.4.483"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref20","unstructured":"Maryland Family Law Code Annotated (1991). 5.704.706."},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref27","volume-title":"On Liberty.","author":"Mill","year":"1975"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0730938400019092"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref32","volume-title":"Coerced Contraception: Moral Policy Challenges of Long-Acting Birth Control.","author":"Robertson","year":"1996"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15288\/jsa.1994.55.667"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0730938400019602"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref18","volume-title":"Under the Influence.","author":"Jung","year":"1994"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0741-8329(97)87951-7"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref16","unstructured":"Illinois Compiled Statutes Annotated (1988a). 705 ILCS 405\/2-18c."},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0730938400019638"},{"key":"S0730938400012107_ref1","first-page":"1","article-title":"\u201cCommentary.
