“…While the majority of the surrounding literature on reproductive decisions and attitudes within affected families have tended to focus on carrier parents (Al-Jader, Goodchild, & Harper, 1990;Henneman, Kooij, Bouman, & Kate, 2002;Kelly, 2009;McClaren et al, 2010;Miller & Schwartz, 1992;Skinner, Sparkman, & Bailey, 2003;Watson, Williamson, & Chapple, 1991), a limited number of studies have emerged that consider the views of genetically disabled adults (both physically and cognitively impaired) toward prenatal diagnosis and selective reproduction. These studies have produced a complex picture, with some finding support (Chen & Schiffman, 2000;Conway, Allenby, & Pond, 1994;Janssens et al, 2016), reticence (Barter, Hastings, Williams, & Huws, 2016;Janssens et al, 2015;Kelly, 2009), and also ambivalence (Roadhouse et al, 2018;Stern et al, 2002;Taneja, Pandya, Foley, Nicely, & Arnos, 2004;Ward, Howarth, & Rodgers, 2002) toward genetic technologies. Despite these limited studies, there has nevertheless been a general lack of analytic interface between the way(s) in which people experience, and assign value to, their impairment, and how this relates to their views on genetic carrier screening for it.…”
