摘要: A new technology, noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), can identify fetal sex early in pregnancy, five weeks after conception, with a high degree of accuracy through analysis maternal blood plasma. This article considers the possibility that NIPT will encourage greater selection developed countries and discusses implications. Sex raises serious social ethical issues unless it is done for medical reasons. The also assesses options to discourage sex-selective abortions, including effectiveness potential legal measures.
