Explanation:
Amniocentesis - a process in which amniotic fluid is sampled using a hollow needle inserted into the uterus, to screen for abnormalities in the developing fetus.
Why a statutory ban is imposed on this technique?
It is used to detect any chromosomal defect in the embryo. However, recently amniocentesis is being used to detect the gender of the foetus which results in several female foeticides. This declines the gender ratio. Therefore, there is a statutory ban on amniocentesis to avoid female foeticides.
Hope it helps......
