Louhiala, Pekka: Preventing Intellectual Disability: Ethical Issues in
Clinical Practice. Cambridge University Press 2003
This is the book that covers comprehensively the difficult ethical issues involved in prevention of intellectual disability. These issues are discussed both practically and theoretically in the light of four case examples drawn from real life. The cases demonstrate various issues raised by the concept of preventing intellectual disability, including definition, epidemiology, screening, and genetic counselling. Two major approach models (reproductive autonomy and public health) are scrutinised, and the practical issues of prevention are examined closely with respect to three syndromes (Down, Fragile X, and Aspartylugosaminuria).
