Amniocentesis is a foetal sex determination and disorder test based on the chromosomal pattern in the amniotic fluid surrounding the developing embryo. The amniotic fluid contains cells from foetus skin and respiratory tract.

These cells are cultured and are used to determine chromosomal abnormalities (Down's syndrome, Klinefelter's syndrome, etc.) and metabolic disorders (phenylketonuria, sickle cell anaemia, etc.) of the foetus. But now-a-days instead of positive uses of amniocentesis it is being used for female foeticide. Sex of the foetus is determined using amniocentesis and then if it turns out to been a female one, foetus is aborted. That is why amniocentesis has been banned in India.
