• Description

  Systemic (Dis)Counseling: The Practice of Genetic Counseling Accompanying Prenatal Diagnosis Weronika Chańska's monograph is a "bioethically engaged" book - it wants to not only describe but also change reality. The author analyzes the Polish system of prenatal tests. It raises questions about its assumptions and the unspoken reasons behind adopting certain solutions. It reveals the values ​​on which prenatal diagnosis and the accompanying genetic counseling are supported. It allows you to understand them better and use them more consciously. Regardless of its scientific value, the book is also a moving story about women who decided to undergo prenatal testing and faced the decision what to do in the event of a severe fetal defect. An expression of admiration for their determination, courage, and often moral heroism.
