Why amniocentesis has been banned
Answers
Amniocentesis is a pre-natal diagnostic technique that is used to determine the sex and metabolic disorders of the developing foetus in the mother’s uterus through the observation of the chromosomal patterns. This method was developed so as to determine any kind of genetic disorder present in the foetus. However, unfortunately, this technique is being misused to detect the sex of the child before birth and the female foetus is then aborted. Thus, to prevent the increasing female foeticides, it is necessary to ban the usage of amniocentesis technique for determining the sex of a child.
Answer:
The process of sex determination by extracting the amniotic sac fluid is called as amniocentesis and it has been banned because of female foeticide.
Explanation:
Abortion is considered as crime but not legally. Amniocentesis is the sex determination procedure in which the specialist uses the fluid from the amniotic sac of the pregnant female and finds the sex of the developing fetus.
With help of this technique the female foeticide was increased. Apart for this it also caused damage to the developing fetus. This it was banned.
