Abstract:
A recent report concerning prenatal screening is alarming. An unacceptable rate of false positives has lead many anxious parents to abort what likely would have been a perfectly healthy child. The market for non-invasive prenatal DNA screens (known as NIPT or NIPS) has eploded in recent years. Many state are currently taking action to prevent discrimination by abortion. North Carolina already has a law prohibiting sex-selection abortions.
