Emphasizing the predictive aspect of testing, the author analyzes the state of informed consent procedure in terms of three components: comprehension of risk assessment, disclosure to select appropriate treatment, and voluntariness. The book's revised model revisits these cornerstones, restructuring the consent process to allow for expanded comprehension time, enhanced patient safety, greater patient involvement and autonomy, and reduced chance of coercion by family or others. A comparison of the current and revised versions and case studies showing the new model in real-world applications add extra usefulness to this resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe science behind PGT.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstanding genetic risks and probability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe history of informed consent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevised model of informed consent: comprehension, disclosure, voluntariness, patient safety.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplications of the model in DTC and pleiotropic genetic testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplementation of the revised model, and assessing its effectiveness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e A milestone in the bioethics literature,\u003ci\u003e Informed Consent in Predictive Genetic Testing\u003c\/i\u003e will be of considerable interest to genetic counselors, medical and bioethicists, and public health professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319385587\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-17416-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 232\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521103872140,"sku":"9783319385587","price":98.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319385587.jpg?v=1776004539","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319385587","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
