The DRC argues that prenatal testing is the gateway for a new form of discrimination that reduces people to a single unwanted gene. In cases where a potential parent is found to be carrying a particular gene or the fetus itself is seen to possess an unwanted gene, the idea of selective abortion more often than not comes to the fore. Citing Barbara Katz Rothman’s interviews, Suter states that “most counselors would have amniocentesis themselves. More than half would have, or want their…

Strengths Migraine headache diagnosis was made according to strict ICHD-III criteria and, to the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few studies to compare sleep quality between migraineurs and healthy adolescents and, the first using Portuguese adolescent population. A further strength of our study is that sleep quality was assessed using three different tools, thus evaluating its difference domains: PSQI (sleep difficulties), CASQ (daytime sleepiness) and ASQ (sleep self-perception,…

Emily Oster said this “Prenatal testing is a complicated decision for many women, forcing us to confront concerns about a disabled child and risks of miscarriage.” What this tells us is any pregnant woman is susceptible to having a disabled child. In my paper. I will outline how prenatal screening is defined, the positive verses the negative outcomes, and the role of prenatal counselors. Prenatal testing is simply a set of medical tests performed on expectant mothers to determine if an unborn…

Wall of Silence Journal Entry One Medical errors occur every day whether it is from a nurse or physician and because of it’s occurrence, it is publicized and raises concern in the community. My level of awareness was little despite hearing stories on social media and from people around me.

Gibson and Singh (2003) mentioned, “hospitals and…

In the 1980’s, Nancy Wexler contributed to advances in medicine by discovering a genetic marker that could indicate inherited disorders linked to chromosomes, such as Down’s Syndrome, Huntington’s Disease, and Tay-Sachs Disease (Vaughn, 2013, p. 566). Since then, prenatal genetic screenings have become widely accessible through simple, low-risk procedures such as carrier testing, blood tests, and ultrasounds. These procedures are only capable of reporting the risk for inheriting abnormalities…

Another example of the negatives of diagnosis can be seen through an Autistic Diagnosis. The article, “Missing and misdiagnosis on the autism spectrum: Potential consequences and implications for practice” by Jones (2016), discusses the issues of missing and misdiagnosing individuals with autisms. In some cases, individuals are diagnosed with other conditions before receiving the diagnosis of autism. In other cases, individuals may have autism and another condition. Unfortunately, most of the…

Prenatal Genetic Testing: A Technology of Normalization Prenatal genetic testing is a technology made available to more accurately determine whether or not a child could have a birth ‘defect’. The most common birth defects tested for are Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, or an open neural tube defect (Government of Canada, 2013). This paper asserts first that prenatal genetic testing is a technology of normalization, which labels disability as abnormal and a feared outcome, and second that…
