Prenatal Diagnosis: How Science Is Changing Pregnancy

How much should we know about an unborn child—and what happens when prenatal science forces parents to make impossible decisions? Prenatal Diagnosis: Pregnancy Under the Loop explores the rise of prenatal diagnosis, from ultrasound and chromosome testing to fetal surgery, genome sequencing and artificial intelligence. Through doctors, researchers and families in France and the Czech Republic, the documentary examines how pregnancy has changed now that the fetus can be seen, measured and diagnosed before birth. For some parents, these technologies bring reassurance and hope. For others, they lead to devastating uncertainty, difficult decisions and profound ethical questions about disability, abortion, normality and the idea of the “perfect” child. As medicine becomes able to reveal more than ever before, are parents, and society, prepared for everything science may tell us? ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – How Prenatal Diagnosis Changed Pregnancy ▷ 03:03 – The Ultrasound Revolution and the Visible Fetus ▷ 06:51 – When a Routine Scan Reveals an Abnormality ▷ 10:20 – Parents as “Moral Pioneers” ▷ 13:25 – Disability, Normality and the “Perfect” Child ▷ 14:36 – Genetics, Chromosomes
