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

(A) Yes,the statutory ban on amniocentesis is justified.
$1$. Misuse: The technique is frequently misused to determine the sex of the foetus,leading to female foeticide,which has severely disrupted the sex ratio in many parts of the country.
$2$. Ethical Concerns: This practice reflects a negative social attitude towards the girl child.
$3$. Original Purpose: The primary medical purpose of amniocentesis is to detect chromosomal abnormalities,genetic disorders,or metabolic deficiencies in the developing foetus.
$4$. Clinical Decision: If a serious,incurable genetic defect is detected,the parents may opt for medical termination of pregnancy $(MTP)$. The ban ensures that the test is performed only for legitimate medical reasons under strict supervision,preventing its use for sex determination.
