Genetic Counselling - Practice and Principles (Hardcover)

To understand the ethical issues raised by genetic counselling, it is necessary for the practitioner, the detached observer and the student to be aware of different perspectives. This work includes contributions from health professionals engaged in genetic counselling, and also from observers and critics of genetic counselling who have backgrounds in law, philosophy, biology, social science, and in advocacy on behalf of those with mental handicap. This diversity is designed to assist health professionals in examining their activities with a fresh eye; it may also help the observer-critic to understand the ethical problems that arise in genetic counselling practice. It is natural for health professionals to focus their concern on the immediate questions raised by individual clients, and for detached observers to consider the broader social implications of the subject.
