The social and bioethical aspects of carrier testing and its assimilation by specific groups are examined through several qualitative case studies in traditional (religious, ethnic) as well as modern (secular-consumerist) communities in Israel and the U.S. Comparing the views of community members and health professionals, the analysis offers a new look on the relations between eugenics and "genetic responsibility."
