Better Reason!: An ultrasound is not primarily done for sex determination. It should be done to determine how far along the pregnancy is and to verify that the fetus appears normal. I understand that in india sex determination is illegal since parents were selectively aborting female fetuses. Is this practice common in pakistan?
