如果发现胎儿有遗传病,但是州法不允许打胎,最后结果只能是,中产以上的人可以去外州打胎,只有最贫困的人没有办法只能把有病的胎儿生下来。尤其是共和党准备取消ObamaCare,那么,就是穷人越穷,小孩也受不到很好的治疗。
What is prenatal diagnosis?
Prenatal diagnosis is a way for your doctor to determine, before birth, whether your fetus has a problem such as Down syndrome. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) are tests that help find genetic disorders before birth. Some parents are at increased risk of having a baby with a genetic disorder or other problem and may want to have one of these tests. Knowing about problems before the baby is born may help parents make decisions about health care for their infant. Certain problems can be treated before the baby is born, while other problems may need special treatment right after delivery. In some cases, parents may decide not to continue the pregnancy.
When are the tests performed?
Amniocentesis is usually performed during the 15th week of pregnancy or later. CVS is usually performed between the 10th and 12th weeks of pregnancy.
