Prenatal genetic testing raises several ethical considerations, including:
- Selective abortion: The potential for selective abortion based on the results of genetic testing.
- False positives or negatives: The risk of false positive or negative results, which can lead to unnecessary anxiety or distress.
- Individual rights: Balancing the rights of the fetus with the rights of the parents to make informed decisions.
- Societal attitudes: Addressing societal attitudes towards genetic testing and the potential for discrimination based on genetic information.
