Read the set reading, two journal papers drawn from a recent special issue of Sociology of Health & Illness on the sociology of medical screening. Pick an illness or disease that is (or could be) screened for (e.g. breast cancer, Huntington's disease). Focusing on your example, write 200-300 words on what medical screening is, who it might benefit or harm and why. Post your text in the virtual seminar and review/reply to others’ as they appear.
