Is selective fetal aspiration of multiple pregnancy safe,at which week is it operated &when is it done if there's pulse of unwanted sacs or if no puls?

Not entirely: there's definitely a risk of terminating too many or too few. This varies so much with different centers/operators that finding the average rate would be truly misleading. best of luck on this one.
