Sommario/riassunto

'Ethical Dilemmas in Genetic Counseling: Principles through Case Scenarios' is essential reading for anyone interested in the ethical issues surfacing in common genetics practice. Written entirely by genetic counsellors, it makes a significant contribution to the field of ethics in genetics and thus will appeal not only to genetic counsellors but to physicians, nurses, and all those concerned with bioethics and social science.
