چکیده

Résumé Summary Des auteurs ont suggérés que l’examen des aspects éthiques et sociaux du test prénatal pouvait être vu comme une responsabilité individuelle des patients, cependant aucun fondement conceptuel n’a été proposé pour appuyer cette thèse. J’avance que la vision de “responsabilité morale comme une vertu” de Candace Cummins Gauthier, développée comme une volonté de concilier les notions d’autonomie et de communauté, fournit ce cadre conceptuel. Authors have suggested that considering the ethical and social aspects of prenatal testing could be seen as an individual responsibility for patients, but no conceptual grounds have been provided for this thesis. I argue that Candace Cummins Gauthier’s account of “moral responsibility as a virtue”, developed as an attempt to reconcile notions of autonomy and community, provides such basis.
