Prenatal diagnosis : The co-production of knowledge and values in medical research and public debate
(2020) p.29-58- Abstract
- This chapter examines how prenatal diagnosis was discussed and interpreted when translated from laboratories and clinics into the public arena. It focusses on debates about policy and regulation in the early 1980s. Drawing on the concept of co-production the chapter argues that when groups outside the medical context discussed prenatal diagnosis, other values and norms were mobilized. Thus, in order to gain legitimacy, the application and regulation of complex medical technologies require a broad public discussion involving both experts and representatives of different sections of civil society.
