Against: won’t be offered for all conditions- unfair to restrict access to safer testing 

]]> 2018-03-13 10:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272141 For: parents have the right to know as much information as medical science can tell them about their unborn child, should they wish to receive this information. NIPT allows detailed information in a non-invasive and risk-free way, allowing decisions to be made with comprehensive details available to the parents and the medical professionals taking care of them. https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272279 2018-03-13 10:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272279 https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272295 For: it's good because it reduces the use for invasive testing which has a small risk of miscarriage. It also lets parents know if their child's has a certain genetic condition without using invasive testing ]]> 2018-03-13 10:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272295 https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272304 for: gives women another option aside from invasive testing (carrying risk and may be scary to patient)

against: has risk of exploiting patient knowledge by referring to cell-free fetal DNA rather than placental and by having high financial costs if women is not high risk/covered by insurance]]> 2018-03-13 10:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272304 For: families have the right to know what kind of future they face with their child, it gives the chance to mentally and physically prepare. https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272320 Against : it is very difficult to determine who has the right to life or not.

against: cannot cover all diseases that can be done by other test for now, there are still limitations to overcome - until then, might have false reassurance or worry for parents]]> 2018-03-13 10:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272355 https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272368 For: Allows women to have access to less invasive testing (reduced miscarriage) in order to make their own decisions about the pregnancy and what to prepare for]]> 2018-03-13 10:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272368 For: https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272375 It is still optional. As long as people are appropriately counselled. 
I would think the choice would always been for or against screening regardless of whether it is NIPT, CVS or Amnio]]> 2018-03-13 10:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272375 Reduces the risk of miscarriage https://padlet.com/ifwh/nipt/wish/241272379
Will everyone want to opt in if the risk of miscarriage isn't there. Will the NHS be able to afford to provide this service to everyone who wants to be tested?
