(i) The doctor should tell the couple that prenatal ser determination is an offense. One should never go for prenatal sex determination.

(ii) Both boys and girls have equal role and importance in our society. Whether a baby is a boy or a girl they are all equal. It is unethical to determine the prenatal sex of a child.

(iii) Law has already banned sex determination. Anybody involved in sex determination act should be punished. People should be made aware about the ill effects of sex determination which lead to female foeticide and the consequently imbalanced ratio of boys and girls.
