In Unexpected, George Estreich and Rachel Adams pick up where she left off, honoring the important research of their friend and colleague, as well as adding new perspectives to her work. Based on interviews with parents of children with Down syndrome, as well as women who terminated their pregnancies because their fetus was identified as having the condition, Unexpected paints an intimate, nuanced picture of reproductive choice in today's world. Piepmeier takes us inside her own daughter's life, showing how Down syndrome is misunderstood, stigmatized, and condemned, particularly in the context of prenatal testing. At a time when medical technology is rapidly advancing, Unexpected provides a much-needed perspective on our complex, and frequently troubling, understanding of Down syndrome. 700 1 $a Estreich, George, $e editor. 700 1 $a Adams, Rachel, $d 1968- $e editor. 941 $a 3 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021303.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210427012037.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210402010912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B6222158937811EB99EFE00156ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
