Overview

Fetal screening refers to any tests that allow a fetus to be tested for certain traits or characteristics.

Procedures

Common procedures include:

Indications

  • In some cases, the tests are administered to determine if the fetus will be aborted.
  • In some cases, fetal screening has been done to determine characteristics generally not considered birth defects.
  • In some parts of the world, if a fetus is determined to be female, it is sometimes aborted. The rise of designer babies and parental selection for specific traits raises a host of bioethical and legal issues that will dominate reproductive rights debates in the 21st century.
