Solution

Amniocentesis is a process or prenatal diagnosis that is used to determine the sex, chromosomal abnormalities or any kind of genetic disorders in the developing foetus inside the mother’s uterus.
Yes, it is right to put a ban on this because, it is not used wisely. Doctors and the expecting parents are unfortunately misusing this method to detect the gender of the foetus which results in female foeticide.
