A member asked:

What percentage of patients do prenatal genetic screening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: There are no solid statistics on this issue. If one is against pregnancy termination, then there is no need to do any prenatal testing at all as this testing is to indicate the risk of a defective infant. It is a personal choice.
