Question

Do you justify the statutory ban on amniocentesis in our country? Give reasons.

As a result, female foeticide is increasing at an alarming rate. This has resulted in decline of female population to less than 50 per 100 males in certain areas. Such an imbalance in *** ratio is bound to create social problems for future generations. Therefore, the test has been banned.
