Non-invasive prenatal testing in Germany and Israel: a matter of course or a matter of discourse?

  • This chapter compares Germany and Israel, that reached different decisions regarding noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) implementation, and describes the associated debates and stakeholders' involvement in both. The Israeli decision-making provoked hardly any public discourse, whereas in Germany it triggered extensive debate involving a broad range of stakeholders. Although the German legal and regulatory framework is more restrictive, and despite diverse opposition, the process led to public coverage of NIPT. Yet, despite a permissive framework, it was rejected in Israel. However, opposing explicit agendas underlie this: Israel aims to prevent disability, and Germany to minimize invasive testing and its associated risks.
