The Market in Noninvasive Prenatal Tests and the Message to Consumers: Exploring Responsibility
The potential for bias in industry‐developed information about noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), in addition to the lack of regulatory oversight for this type of product, raises questions about clinical communication and adoption. We identify NIPTs marketed globally and analyze their English‐language consumer‐oriented brochures to determine whether they meet existing policy and ethical guidance from the Nuffield Council on Bioethics on NIPT ma…

Duncan Macrae, Legible Religion: Books, Gods, and Rituals in Roman Culture
For a book on such an important topic, this is actually short, especially when you take into account how many pages are devoted to footnotes, bibliography and index: a mere 147 pages.Yet rather than being condensed, those pages are, for the most part, heavy and turgid going.Aside from a central chapter on "Rabbis and Romans," it is actually difficult to see the topic or follow the argument, which goes something like this: Until the coming of Chri…

Being Crypto‐Jewish in Colonial Brazil (1500–1822): Brushing History against the Grain
This paper consists of two parts. In the first, I am going to review and synthesise the history of Jews — or rather various versions of Fuzzy Jews 1 — who settled in Brazil during the time it was a Portuguese colony, including a brief period when part of the nation passed under Dutch control. This overview probably adds nothing new to the history of this topic, except insofar as it stresses the details necessary to develop the argument in the nex…
