Amniocentesis is a technique by which a genetic disorder in a developing foetus can be detected. This is based on the chromosomal pattern in the amniotic fluid surrounding the developing embryo. The amniotic fluid contains cells and molecules shed by the foetus. The chromosomes of foetal cells can also be used to find out the sex of the foetus. So, if an abnormality is found, the mother should get the foetus aborted.
