胎兒性別自檢產品面世
US company IntelliGender has created an at-home test which can determine a baby's sex when the mother is in her 10th week of prengancy, with 78-80% accuracy, CBS News reported. The test takes about 10 minutes for the urine sample to turn either green for a boy or orange for a girl. The test costs around $30 in pharmacies. Critics say it may lead to abortion when parents are not satisfied with the baby's gender.(See photo)
據美國哥倫比亞廣播公司報道，美國智慧性別公司近日研發一種檢測胎兒性別的產品，稱婦女在懷孕10周時就可在家自行驗出胎兒性別，準確率達78-80%。該公司表示，孕婦采檢尿液樣本10分鐘后，如果呈現綠色，表示胎兒是男生，橙色是女生。產品售價30美元。批評者認為，這可能導致一些夫婦在得知胎兒性別不符己意時選擇墮胎。(見圖)
