Produktbeschreibung
Prenatal diagnosis, especially noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), has changed the experience of pregnancy, prenatal care and responsibilities in Israel and Germany in different ways. These differences reflect the countries' historical legacies, medico-legal policies, normative and cultural identities. Building on this observation, the contributors of this book present conversations between leading scholars from Israel and Germany based on an empirical bioethical perspective, analyses about the reshaping of 'life' by biomedicine, and philosophical reflections on socio-cultural claims and epistemic horizons of responsibilities. Practices and discussions of reproductive medicine transform the concepts of responsibility and irresponsibility.

Rezensionen
»Die Einblicke in die unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen auf PND, ein von unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Diskursen geprägtes Verständnis von Verantwortung gegenüber Kindern, Familie und Gesellschaft sowie Schlussfolgerungen aus der Geschichte sind spannend und konfrontieren schnell mit eigenen Selbstverständlichkeiten. Ein wichtiges Buch in einem überaus gelungenen Format!« Johanna Lindemann, GID, 265/5 (2023)
