Non-invasive prenatal diagnostics (NIPD) in the system of medical care. Ethical and legal issues

Abstract

The procedures of prenatal and preimplantation diagnostics are discussed critically again and again in our community. In addition to the permanently controversial issues of embryo protection and abortion, considerations that discrimination on the basis of disability could occur with problematic consequences also for already born people with disabilities and their relatives now play a central role.

Keywords: NIPD; discrimination; medical care.
