Abstract

De medische en technische evoluties zorgen ervoor dat infecties, trombo-embolische processen en baringsproblemen steeds minder de oorzaak vormen van maternele sterfte. De hypertensieve aandoeningen daarentegen, winnen alsmaar meer terrein. Bij ongeveer 4 tot 5% van onze populatie wordt momenteel één of andere vorm van hypertensie in de zwangerschap vastgesteld. Het doel van dit boek is aan verpleegkundigen, verloskundigen en obstetrisch geïnteresseerde artsen een didactisch hulpmiddel te bieden in de aanpak van het relatief brede probleem dat hypertensie in de zwangerschap vormt.

Abstract

"Advances in several different areas of the biosciences are coming together in ways that will change human reproduction forever. Vast improvements in the speed, accuracy, and cost of sequencing the entire human genome greatly increases the genetic information prospective parents can learn about their possible children. Rapid progress in stem cell research makes it likely that in twenty years or so, we will be able to make eggs and sperm from the skin cells of people--mature people, old people, children, and even from cells from the dead or the never born. Combining the eggs and sperm will make embryos in a potentially limitless supply; using a technique called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which has been in limited but safe use in people for over twenty-five years, a few cells can be plucked from those embryos and have their genomes entirely sequenced. The result, which the author calls "Easy PGD," will give parents (or others) unprecedented power to select embryos for transfer into wombs and eventual birth as babies, based their predictable genetic traits. Those traits will include early-onset and terrible diseases; other, later or lesser, disease risks; cosmetic traits, some behavioral traits; and, last but not least "boy or girl." This book describes the background science of Easy PGD, lays out its pathway to widespread acceptance and use, and explores some of the many ethical, legal, and social issues it will raise. One thing seems very clear: after Easy PGD, making babies will change forever--and so will humanity."--
