A statewide program in California to detect neural tube and other birth defects may revive enthusiasm for mass prenatal screening. Participation in the program is voluntary, but all expectant mothers are asked to sign a statement of "informed consent/refusal." So far California's program seems to be working well, but questions for the future include the level of participation, the possibility that normal fetuses will be aborted, the kinds of information given to women, and the elusive nature of free choice.
加利福尼亚州一项旨在检测神经管及其他出生缺陷的全州性项目可能会重新唤起人们对大规模产前筛查的热情。参与该项目是自愿的，但所有准妈妈都被要求签署一份“知情同意/拒绝”声明。到目前为止，加利福尼亚州的这个项目似乎运行良好，但未来的问题包括参与程度、正常胎儿可能被流产的可能性、向女性提供的信息种类以及自由选择难以捉摸的本质。
