...technological advance that affects the fate of Mongoloid children is the development of amniocentesis.

Amniocentesis is, very simply, the removal of a little fluid from the amniotic sac which surrounds the developing child. This fluid, called amniotic fluid, contains cells derived from the baby's respiratory and urinary tract. A needle is injected through the placenta and a very small amount of fluid is withdrawn. This procedure can be done in the early weeks of pregnancy. However, because of possible danger to the baby, only a very small amount of liquid can be withdrawn. The few cells obtained earlier than the 16th week must be cultured from four to eight weeks in order...
