Reviews

Rebecca Bennett elevates the discussion on the ethics of disability screening to a new level by her original, balanced, and ground-breaking treatment of the subject. The new toolkit that she offers will both advance theoretical scrutinies and help practical day-to-day decision-making. This masterpiece is a must-read to every student and professional in all parts of the healthcare system. -- Matti Häyry, Professor of Philosophy of Management, Aalto University School, Finland This wonderfully accessible, authoritative and compassionate book about obligations to future children deserves to become the definitive account of this complex debate. -- Emily Jackson, Professor of Law, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK An excellent and scholarly exploration of an important and sensitive family of moral issues. This book also signals an important and welcome shift in attitudes to disability more generally. It will be invaluable not only to academics and professionals working in the field but also to the many families living with these issues. -- John Harris, University of Oxford, UK
