Customer Reviews

Prenatal testing for genetic abnormalities has transformed pregnancy and motherhood. Using sociological research, this book analyses the social-psychological and ethical implications of invasive prenatal testing, particularly CVS and amniocentesis. Among the issues covered are: changes in the genetic counselling profession and in client demographics; the challenge of nondirective genetic counselling; decisions of testing and on which test to have; the timing and risks of the procedures; abortion and grief; the ethics of sex education; potential uses and abuses of genetic knowledge; and policy and ethical implications.
