Statement I: Amniocentesis is often misused.
Statement II: Amniocentesis is being used to determine the sex of the foetus so that female foetus may be aborted.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
In amniocentesis, some of the amniotic fluid of the developing foetus is taken to analyse the foetal cells and dissolved substances. This procedure is used to test for the presence of certain genetic disorders such as down syndrome, haemophilia, sickle-cell anemia, etc., to determine the survivability of the foetus. Statutory ban on amniocentesis for sex-determination is put to legally check the increasing menace of female foeticides, massive child immunisation, etc.
