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

Answers (1)

Amniocentesis is a method through which any abnormalities in the foetus can be detected. But in our country, it has been used as malpractice to find the gender of the unborn child. In India, a girl child is not the most sought for. People take advantage of MTP to discover the gender of the unborn child. Males child are given preference; this has led to killing the girl child in the womb. The sex ratio of some states in the country is very much skewed, such as in Haryana and Punjab. Boys, there grow with a mindset of very less respect for women. This is the root cause of rape, dowry deaths, and gender inequality. This trend has to stop, and the only solution is a ban over Amniocentesis. Only this can do justice to the female population in the country and give them equal treatment as the male population.
