Prenatal and preimplantation testing technologies have offered
unprecedented access to information about the genetic and
congenital makeup of our prospective progeny. Future developments
such as preconception testing, non-intrusive prenatal testing and
more extensive preimplantation testing promise to increase that
access further still. The result may be greater reproductive
choice, but it also increases the burden on women and men to avail
themselves of these technologies in order to avoid having a child
with a disability. The overwhelming question for legislators has
been whether and, if so, how to regulate the use of these
technologies in the face of compelling but seemingly contradictory
claims about the advancement of reproductive choice and the dangers
of eugenic or discriminatory effects. This book examines the
evolution of this legislative oversight across a number of
jurisdictions and explores the tensions and ambiguities that inform
these laws.
