The document that you are about to access, deals with the many facets of prematurity. More precisely, it addresses the following issue: the influence of prematurity and sex on the health of a child. This work is the fruit of close collaboration between several disciplines engaged in a transdisciplinary endeavour. Starting with biomedical knowledge, we have attempted to integrate knowledge from the fields of psychology, ethics, epidemiology and law. This book is based on the knowledge gained from an online forum but was written with the idea of making its content accessible to everyone interested in the subject. It could also serve as food for thought by parents who have a premature baby or even future parents in general. This research question, presented in all its complexities, will also be of interest to researchers and clinicians in training.
