The 'normalization’ of prenatal screening: Prevention as prenatal beneficence

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademic

Abstract

From an ethical point of view, a distinction can be made between two types of prenatal screening that in this chapter we will call PS1 and PS2. Both are offered either in the form of a public health screening programme or on the initiative of individual practitioners in accordance with professional guidelines, depending on how health care is organized in different countries.
