Question

AMNIOCENTESIS is a technique to determine the sex of a child before birth.this technique is banned in our country.why do you think that is so?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since it is misused to find out the sex of the foetus leading to female foeticides, it is necessary. Amniocentesis is the prenatal diagnostic technique, that helps to find out chromosomal(genetic) disorders, metabolic disorders of the foetus; in extreme cases where the foetus is found to be suffering from an incurable disorder MTP is advised. By banning this, the advantage of preventing an unwanted birth is lost.
