Inhaltsangabe

The social and bioethical aspects of carrier testing and its assimilation by specific groups are examined through several qualitative case studies in traditional (religious, ethnic) as well as modern (secular-consumerist) communities in Israel and the U.S. Comparing the views of community members and health professionals, the analysis offers a new look on the relations between eugenics and "genetic responsibility."
