Abstract

The conversation is about different historical, cultural and religious views and norms that may have an impact on prenatal testing practices. The Israeli anthropologist Tsipy Ivry, who is interested in Jewish religious communities, and the German theologian and philosopher Hille Haker, who studies Christian religious narratives and ethics, talk about religious ideas and narratives, Rabbinic reasonings and Christian church doctrines, women's health care and feelings, religious authorities and their impact on diagnostic practices, and different understandings of the need for genetic knowledge about our offspring and the moral status of the foetus.
