The moralities of medicine and birth care in the Czech Republic: The case of the arrested mother
Original language description
In this article I deal with key moral principles and logics permeating the post-socialist birth care system in the Czech Republic. In particular I analyse a case of a woman who was arrested for leaving a maternity hospital with her healthy newborn several hours after the delivery. I identify two competing ?regimes of morality?: one defending health care workers?s standpoints, and the other defending the rights and decisions of the arrested mother. My findings indicate that both of these regimes eclectically employ moral claims that are consistent with socialist as well as capitalist ideas of the market and money in birth care.
