Prenatal Diagnosis And Sex Selection

Prenatal Diagnosis and Sex Selection are relevant to our class because it deals with everything that we’ve covered so far about Bioethics. The course is to examine ethical issues relating to biotechnology and healthcare, including abortion, new reproductive technologies, clinical practice, human involvement etc. Prenatal diagnosis and sex selection both are dealt with individual decision making and the right to what happens to the patient’s body. This leads to autonomy, if we respect the autonomy of other human beings we respect their right to some property and control over their own body. If applied to prenatal diagnosis and sex selection, some would favor the mother’s autonomy because it is her right to decide the procedure she wants to approach.
