What, if any, ethical issues might arise from the widespread use of noninvasive prenatal genetic diagnosis, which can be carried out much earlier than amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling?

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is used to test for genetic disorders in the fetus and can be performed early in gestation (8-10 wks). The recommended method of CVS is to sert a probe with a needle on the end through the cervix and remove a small sample of e chorionic villi to be analyzed. Which description is a correct description of chorionic villi? Select one: They are found in the digestive tract of the fetus. They are developed from the endometrium. They contain cells whose nuclei differ genetically from cells of the fetus. They form part of the placenta.
