DOMINGUEZ-MARQUEZ, Octaviano. Perinatal health care as a challenge of incorporating the principle of vulnerability. Perinatol. Reprod. Hum. [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.2, pp.97-101. ISSN 2524-1710.

With the perspective of the vulnerability principle, a review is made in order to identify fundamental factors affecting neonates during the perinatal condition, in pregnancy, the maternal and neonatal conditions in the biological, environmental, social and institutional aspects. Bioethical principles are analyzed in issues such as dignity, autonomy delegated into parents, the liability recognized in the social and environmental factors of the family, the State and the institutions. Some ethical statements are elaborated regarding their protection, clinical care and the confrontation between the mother's and the neonate's rights.
