Se ha promovido la inclusión de las mujeres como participantes en la investigación para llenar los vacíos en el conocimiento sobre la salud y la enfermedad en las mujeres. Sin embargo, la inclusión de mujeres embarazadas como participantes de la investigación está rodeada de preocupaciones sobre los efectos sobre el binomio materno-fetal. Aunque existen preocupaciones sobre la inclusión de mujeres embarazadas en el estudio de nuevos medicamentos y procedimientos invasivos, es crucial reconocer que excluir a las mujeres embarazadas también es perjudicial. La exclusión sistemática puede poner en riesgo a los fetos debido a la falta de conocimiento aplicable, evitando el conocimiento de la información sobre los efectos maternos y fetales de un medicamento o intervención dada. Las mujeres embarazadas no deben considerarse vulnerables simplemente porque están embarazadas, y existe el deber de promover la investigación dirigida a obtener conocimientos relevantes en esta población específica. Es necesario promover la inclusión ética y responsable de las mujeres embarazadas en la investigación, ya que es una cuestión de equidad y justicia social.
