520    "Prenatal and preimplantation testing technologies have 
       offered unprecedented access to information about the 
       genetic and congenital makeup of our prospective progeny. 
       Future developments such as preconception testing, non-
       intrusive prenatal testing and more extensive 
       preimplantation testing promise to increase that access 
       further still. The result may be greater reproductive 
       choice, but it also increases the burden on women and men 
       to avail themselves of these technologies in order to 
       avoid having a child with a disability. The overwhelming 
       question for legislators has been whether and, if so, how 
       to regulate the use of these technologies in the face of 
       compelling but seemingly contradictory claims about the 
       advancement of reproductive choice and the dangers of 
       eugenic or discriminatory effects. This book examines the 
       evolution of this legislative oversight across a number of
       jurisdictions and explores the tensions and ambiguities 
       that inform these laws"--|cProvided by publisher.
