Abstract
The introduction of a new technology, such as an aneuploidy screening test, is an opportunity for advancement, but it is also a risk for misuse and harm. The enthusiasm of researchers, prospective parents, and the biomedical industry should be balanced with a measured approach. Optimal counseling for a particular screening or prenatal diagnostic test to be chosen, or declined, involves a comprehensive understanding of the available tests, the conditions to be screened for, time, and good communication skills.
