Born and Made: An Ethnography of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis Paperback - 2006
by Sarah Franklin; Celia Roberts
From the rear cover
"Born and Made is the first full-length qualitative study of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Using the methods of cultural studies and ethnography, Franklin and Roberts observe a London hospital laboratory that delivers this service to couples whose genetic history is fraught with dead children, miscarriages, and infertility. This is a compelling story of science in action."--Rayna Rapp, New York University
"Franklin and Roberts provide an innovative analysis of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) through an ethnographic account of scientists, clinicians, genetic counselors, and patients. The everyday stories in this book will disprove popular fears that PGD will usher in a 'brave new world' of 'designer babies.' In Born and Made, readers will discover new languages for discussing the transformative sociologies of reproductive technology."--Stefan Helmreich, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
