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

| 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. | |
