PDF-(BOOK)-The Gene Machine: How Genetic Technologies Are Changing the Way We Have Kids--and

A sharpeyed guide to the promise and peril of having children in an age of genetic tests and interventionsIs DNA testing a triumph of modern medicine or a Pandoras box of possibilities Is screening for disease in an embryo a humane form of family planning or a slippery slope toward eugenics And more practically how do we navigate the dizzying and expanding array of tests available with more appearing every dayIn The Gene Machine the awardwinning journalist Bonnie Rochman addresses these questions and more guiding us through the new frontiers of gene technology and how it has forever changed medicine bioethics and the factors that shape a family Rochman takes an authoritative look at the latest hotbutton issues in the world of pre and postnatal testing and tells the stories of women and men struggling to understand the variety of tests and grappling with their resultsrevelations that are sometimes joyous sometimes heartbreaking and often profoundPropelled by human narratives and meticulously reported The Gene Machine introduces us to scientists working to unlock the secrets of the human genome gene counselors and spiritual advisers helping parents manage this complex new reality and of course parents themselves including the author who glimpse the genetic futures of their children The Gene Machine is both a scientific road map and a meditation on our power to shape the future one that gets to the very core of what it means to be human.
