Prenatal diagnosis : background and impact on individuals. : Z1-1989/3-41-25E

"The practice of prenatal diagnosis involves a complex relationship between technology and individuals, partly because of the seriousness of the choices that may have to be made because of the technology's use. This relationship provides the context for the studies in the next three volumes examining prenatal diagnostic technologies. This volume outlines the development of prenatal diagnosis in Canada and what is known about its risks and long-term effects. It goes on to provide some data relevant to the demographics of women in Canada using prenatal diagnosis and then explores in depth the views of some of these women."--Introduction.
