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