| Summary, etc. | Recent advances in medical technology have made it possible to test babies before birth to detect abnormalities or complications. While providing parents with a new set of options, prenatal diagnosis has become one of the most controversial areas of medicine. This book cuts through the sensationalism to give a clear outline of the techniques available and the main ones in use, By setting out the options and the factors involved, the main aim is to encourage informed decision-making. The authors have quoted from a number of people who have used the procedures; this anecdotal material, plus the question-and-answer section at the end of each chapter, give an extra personal dimension. This new edition incldues up-to-date information on clinical advances in ultrasound testing. New and better ultrasounds are used to illustrate the text, The authors have added new material on the ethics and quality of newer forms of testing, and on testing for Down Syndrome. |
