Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The genetics and abortion issue is an extension of the abortion debate and the disability rights movement. Since the advent of forms of prenatal diagnosis, such as amniocentesis and ultrasound, it is has become possible to detect the presence of congenital disorders in the fetus before birth, leading some women faced with this situation to opt for abortion instead. In many countries, abortion is available on request up to a certain point in the pregnancy. No particular reason is necessary, and so the results of genetic tests may be taken into account. In other countries, concerns over health or fetal defect" may be one way of qualifying for an abortion that would otherwise be prohibited. In a small number of countries, all abortions are prohibited"
