Abstract

Many people believe that it is either morally obligatory, preferable or beneficial for an expectant father to be present at the delivery of his baby. An examination of the research literature, however, reveals no benefit that is generally available to participants. I argue, in addition, that it is not morally obligatory for an expectant father to be present at the delivery of his baby.
