Amniocentesis
and its statutory ban
Due to small family
norms and the skewed choice for a male child, female population is decreasing
at an alarming rate. Amniocentesis is a prenatal technique used to detect any
chromosomal abnormalities in the foetus and it is being often misused to
determine the sex ofthe foetus. Once the sex of the foetus is known, there may
be a chance of female foeticide. Hence, a statutory ban on amniocentesis is
imposed.
