  • Question
  • Statement: Should the sex determination test during pregnancy be completely banned?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. This leads to indiscriminate female foeticide and eventually will lead to social imbalance.
    2. No. People have a right to know about their unborn child.


  • Options
  • A. Only argument I is strong
  • B. Only argument II is strong
  • C. Either I or II is strong
  • D. Neither I nor II is strong
  • E. Both I and II are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only argument I is strong 

    Explanation
    Parents indulging in sex determination of their unborn child generally do so as they want to only a boy child and do away with a girl child. So, argument I holds. Also, people have a right to know only about the health, development and general well-being of the child before its birth, and not the sex. So, argument II does not hold strong.
