Description

This scholarly work examines the intersection of community genetics and genetic alliances, exploring how carrier testing programmes shape reproductive decisions and create networks of individuals at genetic risk. The study investigates the emergence of genetic communities within ethnic groups and patient organisations, analysing the complex relationship between medical screening practices and eugenic considerations. By focusing on how carrier testing provides information about passing genetic mutations to offspring, the book addresses both the potential benefits of preventing inherited conditions and the ethical concerns surrounding reproductive screening. The author explores the medical organisation of carrier screening and the social networks that form around genetic risk, offering critical insight into modern approaches to genetic health management and community-based genetic services.

Analyses how genetic alliances form networks of individuals at risk around medical and patient organisations.

Explores the emergence of genetic communities within existing ethnic groups and patient-centred networks.

Addresses the ethical tensions between preventing genetic suffering and eugenic considerations in screening.
