Book Details

Reviews and Endorsements

'The EDIG (Ethical Dilemmas due to Prenatal and Genetic Diagnostics) study offered a unique chance for a multi-disciplinary dialogue between ethicists, psychoanalysts, medical doctors, philosophers, and cultural anthropologists.

Another innovative aspect was the possibility that relatively detailed interviews with women/couples after PND (Prenatal and Genetic Diagnosis), as well as the empirical findings based on large-scale questionnaire data, could be used by all the different authors of this volume, who would look at them from different disciplinary and cultural perspectives. The four parts of the book reflect the multi-disciplinary approach and contain theoretical, historical, ethical, and philosophical, as well as empirical and clinical, contributions.'
