From now on, to test fetal sex by B-ultrasonic scanning is illegal
and a doctor will have his professional pursuit and license revoked
according to Article 42 of the Implement Measures of the Law of the
People’s Republic of China Concerning Mother and Infant Care issued
on July 19.
Professor Yan Renying of Peking University said that to test fetal
sex by B-ultrasonic scanning will introduce serious consequences,
“it can directly result in sex imbalance.”
Authoritative departments concerned will give warnings to those
units which illegally test fetal sex by B-ultrasonic scanning and
give administrative punishments to those persons involved in
disregard of the law. And departments concerned will disqualify
those units and doctors that take fetal tests for more than two
times or to a mercenary purpose.
