Are you for or against the DNA testing of fetuses, for any given reason: possibly health risks and limitations, paternity tests, etc., etc.?

As long as it's not used for eugenics.

Well, they already take a sample of amniotic fluid from the womb to determine what genetic mutations or conditions the baby may have while pregnant. But actually poking the fetus itself? I don't think they should. Wait until the baby is born for all of that. Paternity tests, all you have to do is swab his mouth.

Unless it's something immediately pressing (and can mean the difference between healthy or deficient), I wouldn't be in favor using an unborn fetus as a genuine pig for medical experimentation.
