Parental Acceptance of Fetal Tissue Donation
These findings suggest that a substantial proportion of individuals may be willing to donate fetal tissue for biomedical research after pregnancy termination. Integrating donation options in posttermination counseling respects patient autonomy and could ethically increase tissue availability for research. Expanding biobanks and fostering international collaboration is crucial for standardizing practices and ensuring equitable research benefits.
