Description

Explore the social dimensions of modern medicine with Gender and Genetics: Sociology of the Prenatal. As prenatal screening for genetic disorders becomes a global phenomenon, this text provides a necessary look at how these processes affect families. While much research focuses on the female experience, this book expands the conversation by examining the roles of men in the screening process. Using interview data collected from pregnant women and their male partners in a UK city, Reed provides a detailed analysis of maternal and paternal roles. This work offers a fresh perspective on the gendered nature of prenatal testing, making it a valuable resource for those studying the intersection of genetics and society. It moves beyond traditional views to include the direct involvement of male partners, offering a more complete picture of how families navigate genetic screening today.
