Abstract

The introduction of personalized medicine marks a shift in pregnancy-related screening, from fetal to maternal health risks putting the pregnant woman's future orientations center stage. Drawing on fieldwork from pregnancy outpatient clinics and 11 interviews with pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes and offered genetic testing, we use their experiences of time to explore how futurity is reshaped by notions of early detection and at-riskness. We offer the concept of "future prism" to capture how multiple situations of orienting toward the future shape and circumscribe one's experience of the future - an orientation that makes genetic testing almost impossible to refuse.

"尽我所能"：丹麦妊娠糖尿病妇女的未来方向。

个性化医疗的引入标志着与妊娠相关的筛查发生了转变，从胎儿健康风险到孕产妇健康风险，将孕妇的未来导向置于中心位置。通过对妊娠门诊的实地调查，以及对被诊断为妊娠糖尿病并接受基因检测的孕妇进行的 11 次访谈，我们利用她们的时间体验来探讨早期检测和风险的概念是如何重塑未来的。我们提出了 "未来棱镜 "的概念，以捕捉面向未来的多种情况是如何塑造和限定一个人对未来的体验的--这种面向使基因检测几乎无法拒绝。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
