Amniocentesis for sex determination is banned in our country. Is this ban necessary? Comment. |
|
Answer» Yes. Amnicoentesis (alongwith sonography) is being misused to determine the sex of the foetus. Due to small family norm, along with religion and social practices, every family wants a male child. The female foetus is destroyed. This has resulted in decline in female population to less than 50 per 100 males in certain areas. Such an imbalance in sex ratio is bound to create social problems for the future generations. Therefore, the test has been banned. |
