Question
An elderly pregnant woman has a normal four-dimensional ultrasound examination, but the genetic chip test detects a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 10. Can this fetus be retained?
Answer
This question mainly depends on whether the fetus has any malformations. Although the four-dimensional ultrasound can detect visible malformations, current medical methods are unable to detect developmental issues related to intelligence. From the perspective of eugenics and prenatal care, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy. It is advised to maintain good rest and work habits, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and increase physical exercise to enhance body resistance and immunity.
