Review
Paul and Brosco are to be congratulated on producing an extremely worthwhile, interesting and very readable book. I highly recommend it to geneticists, bioethicists, to those directly or indirectly involved in newborn screening, and to all others who wish to understand the basis for the current enthusiasm about the role of genetics and genetic screening in health and the prevention of disease.
(Harvey L. Levy
Journal of Medical Genetics)
A highly compelling story about a successful medical intervention—literally life changing—that has also had unintended consequences. This study is extremely relevant to contemporary genomic medicine.
(M. Susan Lindee, University of Pennsylvania)
