Bioethicists have called for a ban on using a new pre-natal test to determine the sex of the baby, because it may lead to more 'gender-abortions'. Non-invasive pre-natal testing (NIPT) has already come under fire because of its aim to 'screen out' babies with Down's Syndrome. Now the Nuffield Council on Bioeth-ics, a government backed think-tank, is warning that private clinics are offering NIPT to women to determine the sex of their baby. Source : Christian Concern |
