Abstract:
:Twenty-eight young people with thalassemia major expressed their opinion about prenatal diagnosis. All of them stated that they intended to marry and have children; thirteen of them (46 per cent) said that they would have also accepted a thalassemic carrier as a partner and that if married to a carrier they would have undergone prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion. All but one refused the prospect of an affected child. When asked if they would have preferred that before their birth their parents had undergone prenatal diagnosis and abortion, 19 patients (68 per cent) gave an affirmative answer. These results clearly indicate that even people affected by thalassemia major, who are the potential victims of prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion, largely accept prenatal diagnosis as a means of preventing their disease.
