ABSTRACT
Neonatal nursing has witnessed a level of technological change and development in recent years which has resulted in the survival of extremely premature infants. This has called for a simultaneous development in the theoretical and practical skills of neonatal nurses. It has also increasingly exposed them to the intriguing world of ethics and moral decision-making, involving fragile human beings, often at the edge of viability or with the prospects of facing some long-term disability.
