| Sumario: | This is a unique book, covering areas not available elsewhere. Within its pages, the authors discuss many diverse areas relating to reproduction and genetics. Great progress has been made in the field of genetics within the past decade. This, combined with our growing knowledge, has impacted on this important area with interesting consequences. The ability to identify genetic defects before implantation, to diagnose fetal abnormalities and to introduce screening programmes means that genetic testing now has a major role in preventive medicine. These topics are discussed in detail in the book. In parallel with these advances, other aspects that cannot be ignored, such as education of the public and the potential ethical dilemmas that may arise by virtue of these new methodologies, are raised and discussed in this volume, which is based on the 57th RCOG Study Group and includes a set of consensus views from the expert participants. This book provides topical and essential information for practising clinicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals interested in these fields of study. |
