title: [Prenatal diagnosis and psychiatric diseases: "to be normal or not to be"].
abstract: Recent developments in molecular biology have broadened the scope of antenatal diagnosis to include multifactorial diseases whose expression is unpredictable, variable and delayed. These diseases include some psychiatric conditions. These new capabilities raise difficult ethical problems which lead the authors to a more general discussion of antenatal diagnosis and its objectives.
