The scientific advancements, especially in the tests during pregnancy, have been accelerating dramatically. These improvements are pointing the way to a new age of chemistry. Representing some opportunities, the technological improvements shed the light on the problems and the questions which may occur during this 9-months journey. The cutting-edge devices are used to identify the sex of a baby, the potential risk of disability, and the diseases that a baby is likely to possess in the future.
The first but not the most important opportunity introduced by the technological materials is to learn the sex of an unborn. Doctors , by the 12th week, apply to ultrasound scan in order to determine the gender of the baby. At first glance, it seems normal, but when you become aware of the height and the weight of a baby in 12 weeks, it is inevitable to feel bewildering because it is just 15 gram in weight and 5 cm in height.
As regards the benefits of technological advancements in pregnancy tests, diagnosing the potential risk of disability can be named as the most important chance introduced to the human beings. The doctors of Imperal Hospital , in a conference, emphasized the importance of the Amniocentesis and the Maternal Serum Screening and the other tests which are used to detect the risk of abnormality. On the other hand, there are some experts who claim that parents could find themselves caught between the devil and the deep blue sea because of the fear of fate waiting for them and so that they are more likely to abort the pregnancy. Who knows, maybe within the following years , technology ,too, might find a solution to this problem.
The last but not the least crucial opportunity is to determine the disease waiting for a baby in the future. Just two drops of blood taken from mom and an ultrasound examination are enough to identify this issue. In some cases, the treatments can be arranged before the birth and after opening its eyes to the world, a baby immediately is taken to an operation which cures the illness. There, however, some physiologists who assert that being aware of the fate can just help you to be the slave of it not help you to be the master of it. At the same time, a report which was declared to the public by a research group belonging to Tübitak yesterday suggests that approximately 13,890 newborns whose diseases had been diagnosed were treated between the years of 2010 and 2011.
To put in a nut shell, the advancements in tests during pregnancy- to identify the sex ,detect the disability, and disease- will richen the next generations’ life quality and be the key words to the ones who are aware of the limitations and who desire to fix the conditions of the present . In other words, technology will give birth to its baby; it will be the mother of its baby, like a mom who refresh her spirit in the eyes of her sweety.
