Genetic counseling is an institution that provides an individual or family with basic information about diseases and anomalies that are inherited and their impact on the lives of patients. In the counseling center, various experts explain to future parents the way and risk of inheritance, present opportunities in relation to risk (abandonment of offspring, adoption, artificial insemination), help in independent decision-making and conduct interviews with parents. Therefore, it is more appropriate to talk about genetic information, because the goal is to provide as complete information as possible, so that those interested can make the most acceptable decision on their own. The principles of voluntary access to information and the individuality of the choice of decision are important. Part of genetic counseling and information is prenatal diagnosis. Due to the great advances in biomedicine in recent decades, it is possible to diagnose an inherited disease or anomaly even before the birth of a child, with sufficient certainty and risk assessment for the mother and fetus. The methods used today for prenatal diagnosis can be invasive and non-invasive. Although prenatal diagnosis has many benefits for parents in terms of offspring planning, it also has its limitations. There are, first of all, ethical problems of abortion, then problems related to the technology of prenatal diagnosis, the safety of performing diagnostic procedures, the number of disorders that can be detected in the early stages of pregnancy, the safety of diagnosis.
