Amniocentesis has been legally banned in India for the purpose of:

  1. Determining the sex of the foetus
  2. Monitoring foetal lung maturity
  3. Detecting haemophilia in the foetus
  4. Detecting genetic disorders such as Down syndrome
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Determining the sex of the foetus

Amniocentesis legitimately tests for genetic disorders (Down syndrome, haemophilia, sickle-cell anaemia). Its **misuse for sex-determination** — and the subsequent female-foeticide that follows — is what's statutorily banned in India.
