Firmly grounded in empirical data, this book critically engages with the relational, moral and ethical issues surrounding genetic testing in contemporary society. Competing accounts of autonomy, responsibility and blame ¿ by families, by professionals and in the public sphere ¿ are analysed rigorously within adiscourse-rhetorical framework, paying particular attention to the situated management of risks of knowing and risks of disclosure.
