Summary

This chapter discusses the difficulties and the possibilities for doctors in supporting parents/patients in making difficult decisions using the case of fetal lung anomalies. It also discusses the difficulties in parental understanding of the information given and the way people use information while making a decision. The following aspects are important when delivering information to parents and family: People in general are able to only process a limited amount of information at a single interview; people process information in an intuitive and emotional way; and people, in general, find it difficult to understand risk information. In most clinical cases there is a trade-of between benefits and risks for the choice of different treatment options. The affective impact of the mental images of risks about the outcome of a decision contributes to a binary perception of risks.
