A pregnant woman who is a mother of one daughter, requests the doctor of an ultrasound clinic to test and determine the sex of the baby in her womb. The doctor, very politely, refused and explained the legal and ethical point of view of the situation. On the basis of arguments and counselling, the doctor prepared the woman to happily accept the baby.
(a) Why is pre-natal sex determination ethically wrong ?
(b) Had you been in place of the doctor, what argument you would have placed to counsel the mother ?
(c) State the values exhibited by the doctor.
