If implementation of better techniques and new strategies are required to provide more efficient care and assistance to people, then why is there a statutory ban on amniocentesis? Write the use of this technique and give reason to justify.
There is a statutory ban on amniocentesis because it leads to increase in the number of female foeticide.
Amniocentesis is the technique which is used for sex-determination of the foetus based on the chromosomal pattern in the amniotic fluid surrounding the developing embryo. The ban on the technique is a correct measure because many couples tend to abort the baby if they find the baby to be a girl which increases the number of female foeticides. The ban helps to prevent the misuse of the method and keep a check on it.
