This study brings together two important literatures together in the one volume. One concerns the role of quality assessments in social policy, especially health policy. The second concerns ethical and social issues raised by prenatal testing for disability.

The volume will be of particular value to philosophers concerned with applied ethics (especially bioethics), behavioral genet
