Publisher's Synopsis
The medical geneticist, who somehow holds the destiny of entire families in his hands when giving advice on undertaking pregnancy, often finds himself in the center of controversy between different interests. This book explains what problems must be confronted by a medical geneticist, and what conflicts may arise in the life of a family, as it undertakes offspring. On the basis of what principles, considering what facts and interests is the advice given? In what does the Hungarian method of counselling differ from international practice and how effective is this method? How is this activity regulated by law, and how does the law help or hinder the counselling physician's work?
