Abstract

Genetic counselors have a complex relationship with disability communities due to both the legacy of eugenics and their ongoing role counseling families about prenatal testing. Drawing on a social model of disability and highlighting mistaken assumptions about quality of life for people with disabilities, scholars and activists have raised concerns about genetic technologies that strive to eliminate disability. We review the disability rights critique of prenatal screening and emphasize its ongoing relevance to genetic counseling. We then consider disability perspectives on prognostication in genetics and highlight disability-informed critiques of gene therapies. We close by reviewing efforts by, and opportunities within, the genetic counseling profession to center the perspectives of people with disabilities in genetic counseling practice and education.

残疾、遗传咨询和医学教育:从优生学到反残疾主义。
遗传咨询师与残疾社区有着复杂的关系,这既是由于优生学的遗产,也是由于他们在产前检测方面为家庭提供咨询的持续角色。学者和活动人士利用残疾的社会模型,强调了对残疾人生活质量的错误假设,对努力消除残疾的基因技术提出了担忧。我们回顾了产前筛查的残疾权利批评,并强调其与遗传咨询的持续相关性。然后,我们考虑残疾在遗传学预测的观点,并强调残疾知情的基因治疗的批评。最后,我们回顾了遗传咨询专业在遗传咨询实践和教育中以残疾人的观点为中心的努力和机会。
