| Summary, etc. | More and more women are having children when they are over 30 and amniocentesis, primarily used as a test for Down's Syndrome, has become a routine part of prenatal care. In this book, Barbara Katz Rothman draws on the experience of over 120 women and a wealth of expert testimony to show how one simple procedure can radically alter the way we think about childbirth and becoming a parent. The results of amniocentesis, and the more recently developed chorion villus sampling force us to confront agonizing dilemmas. What do you do if there is a ""problem"" with the foetus?Passionate, controversial and at times heartbreaking this book is designed for anyone thinking of having a child and for all those concerned with the growing proliferation of reproductive technology. |
