Question

Discuss whether Judy Smith’s doctor should recommend amniocentesis or CVS. Write a one paragraph summary of your argument in your laboratory journal.

Answer 1

Answer:

The doctor should recommend CVS chorionic villus sampling.

Explanation:

Once the chorionic villus sampling CVS is a faster method than the amniocentesis to study the possibility of any genetic disorder, it would be the best way to know about the actual development of the baby. In case that the baby has a kind of genetic disorder it would be advantage to know it in advance, since some of those problems can be treated before the bird, some others can be treated right after the bird and in some cases the parents could choose not to continue with the pregnancy.
