    Similarly, those making antenatal screening programmes available – both the policy makers and at least some health professionals – have an expectation that pregnant women will (and, by implication, ‘should’) participate in screening designed to identify pregnancies in which the foetus has Down syndrome and/or a serious malformation. The pressure exerted in such screening programmes, arising from the very existence of the screening programme, can amount almost to coercion, whatever the wishes and intentions of the individual professionals involved (Clarke, 1991, 1997; Rothman, 1988; Rapp, 2000). More recently, the meaning of responsibility in relation to genetics has broadened very considerably as the scope of applicability of genetics has broadened from its earlier focus in the sphere of reproduction to include the whole breadth of medicine and healthcare more generally (‘mainstreaming genomics’).
