Solution
- Yes, the test must be banned because of its misuse to determine the sex of the foetus. Because of the small family norm, every family wants a male child. The female foetus is destroyed. This has resulted in the decline in the female population which can create social problems for future generations.
- Many genetic disorders, if present, can be diagnosed by amniocentesis.
