Reviews
Considerable advances have been made in genetic research and prenatal diagnosis since the publication of Milunsky's Know Your Genes (Houghton, 1977). This guide to hereditary disorders reorganizes and expands the earlier edition to include a summary of the "new" genetics and its clinical, legal, and ethical implications. The author (Boston Univ. Sch. of Medicine) strongly urges prospective parents to learn about their genetic background and to seek counseling regarding potential risks. Much of the material will be accessible only to well-educated readers; some readers may object to prenatal diagnosis and its ramifications. As a source of comprehensive information on reproductive health, however, this is essential.
