Managing an Unexpected Prenatal Diagnosis: Critical Considerations for Counselors, Clinicians, and Friends
CBHD co-sponsored a one-day conference on prenatal diagnosis in July with The Jerome Lejeune Foundation, USA, Family Research Council, and Medical Students for Life. Sessions included presentations by David Prentice, PhD; Peter Smith, MD, MA; Mark Leach, JD, MA; Byron Calhoun, MD, FACOG, FACS; and Donna Harrison, MD. Topics ranged from an update on the accuracy and availability of prenatal testing methods, the relationship between prenatal diagnosis and termination, legislative and policy initiatives regarding prenatal testing and counseling, research into therapeutic treatments for genetic or congenital disabilities, as well as a session directed to communicating an unexpected prenatal diagnosis. Video of the sessions is available at cbhd.org and our YouTube channel.
