WELCOME TO THE FETAL HEART SURGERY FORUM

With the explosion of technology in cardiac surgery, it is difficult to point to one development and say
"THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE ADVANCE IN RECENT TIMES".

However, the concept of treating diseases of the heart even when the "child" is in the womb - fetal intervention - is the nearest to "IT".

Fetal Heart Surgery is an idea which has totally captured my imagination. It is at once bold and daring, exciting and scary.
Is nothing sacred, forbidden, inaccessible any longer - even the fetus in its protective shell ?

Not everyone, though, is as enthusiastic about it. Fetal surgery has its strong detractors as well.

So I thought of starting a forum to discuss this contentious issue. Here, in this MINI-WEB you will find short articles on different aspects of this novel technique. They are scientific, philosophical, ethical, whimsical and soul-searching. And what's more, YOU too can ADD YOUR COMMENTS on how you feel and what you think about fetal intervention !

So what are you waiting for ? Come right on in .... for a journey into the exciting WORLD OF THE FETUS !
