“…Indeed there is evidence of genetic maneuvering or the use of regulatory discourses and devices to secure favorable outcomes (Hindmarsh, 2005) being developed in the reproductive sphere. Prenatal genetic technologies have clear social dimensions and cultural values, upholding a reproductive morality.…”

This article provides a review of literature of articles and texts on prenatal genetic technologies and is limited specifically to research that focuses on the intersection between the dynamics of prenatal screening; the regulation of family life and reproduction; the issues of disabilities, risk, and shame; embodied affect; and contemporary molecular medicine. Three themes emerge from the literature: the fact that these technologies have a transformative impact on the social process of human reproduction, are powerful ways of regulating family normality and health, and have the unintended consequence of dividing women into ''good'' and ''bad'' reproducers. It is argued that in reviewing the literature it is important to take a critical focus to expose some of the repressive dynamics embedded in the diffusion and proliferation of these technologies.

Focusing on the impact of prenatal screening on women's bodies, the paper sets the scene for an understanding of the social complexities of this type of screening. After looking briefly at the various types of procedures used during the prenatal period, I demonstrate how the mix of prenatal politics, reproductive genetics and gender creates threats to female embodiment. I contend that those of us working in the field need to construct new perceptions about how women's embodied experiences are shaped by these practices. As more prenatal technologies are being deployed, we need to expose the repressive dynamics at work.
