| 520 | |a"Prenatal diagnosis, as it has so far been used and as discussed in the previous two volumes, is a means of providing information to women and couples who are at higher risk for a serious disorder - either a congenital anomaly or genetic disease - in their children. As the studies in this volume demonstrate, however, new developments already, or will soon, make it possible to detect prenatally a growing range of attributes, including sex, late-onset single-gene disorders, and susceptibility to some common diseases. This raises important issues for individuals, physicians, and society as a whole to address if potential harms are to be avoided."--Introduction. |
