Newborn screening is expanding rapidly, fueled by the prospect of saving lives. Yet many lives are also \u003ci\u003echanged\u003c\/i\u003e by it in ways not yet recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTesting Baby \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to draw on parents' experiences with newborn screening in order to examine its far-reaching sociological consequences. Rachel Grob's cautionary tale also explores the powerful ways that parents' narratives have shaped this emotionally charged policy arena. Newborn screening occurs almost always without parents' consent and often without their knowledge or understanding, yet it has the power to alter such things as family dynamics at the household level, the context of parenting, the way we manage disease identity, and how parents' interests are understood and solicited in policy debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Grob\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813551358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813551357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/14\/2011 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2012","brand":"Rachel Grob","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425074462975,"sku":"9780813551357","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82a1cbf4-e59f-4515-8d8a-9271d2cbbc7e.jpg?v=1761536833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/testing-baby-rachel-grob-9780813551357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
