Indian writer and researcher Ashish Bose writes:
“… Very often doctors show utter disregard for medical ethics. They know very well that through ultrasonography it is not possible to determine the sex of the foetus within 12 weeks of conception and yet they conduct these tests and indicate the results (invariably “it is a girl”).
The doctors know that it is just speculation and not scientific observation. In fact, we have come across reports of cases when after abortion it was found that the foetus was male, much to the agony of the parents.”
