Robert L. Klitzman interviewed 64 people who faced Huntington's disease, breast and ovarian cancer, or Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. The book describes--often in the person's own words--how each has wrestled with the vast implications that genetics has for their lives and their families. Klitzman shows how these men and women struggle to make sense of their predicament and its causes. They confront a series of quandaries--whether to be tested; whether to disclose their genetic risks to parents, siblings, spouses, offspring, friends, doctors, insurers, employers, and schools; how to view and understand themselves and their genetics; what treatments, if any, to pursue; whether to have children, adopt, screen embryos, or abort; and whether to participate in genetic communities. In the face of these uncertainties, they have tried to understand these tests and probabilities, avoid fatalism, anxiety, despair, and discrimination, and find hope, meaning, and a sense of wholeness. Forced to wander through a wilderness of shifting sands, they chart paths that many others may eventually follow." --Publisher description. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div class="separator"></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <th class="key">Contents:</th> <td>Embarking on genetic journeys : introduction -- Do I want to know? : testing decisions -- Whom should I tell? : disclosures and testing in families -- Genetic test as Rorschach : questions of why me?.
