Description

Comprehensive Down Syndrome Test Bank

This is the first Test Bank that covers comprehensively the difficult ethical issues involved in prevention of Down Syndrome.

Practical and Theoretical Approaches

The issues are discussed both practically and theoretically in the light of four case examples drawn from real life.

Approach Models and Syndromes

Two major approach models (reproductive autonomy and public health) are scrutinised, and the practical issues of prevention are examined closely with respect to three syndromes (Down, Fragile X, and Aspartylugosaminuria).

Why Prevent Down Syndrome?

The question ‘Why should Down Syndrome be prevented?’ is examined thoroughly at each stage.
