| Summary: | In this issue of The Journal of Medical Ethics, xxx and colleagues report a randomized trial of the influence of default options on delivery room management of an extremely premature infant.

While the results warrant attention and further investigation, several methodological shortcomings limit the conclusions that can be drawn from this study. |
