Legal provisions for fetal gender identification
In China, fetal sex determination has been banned. In 2003, my country promulgated Article 42 of the Family Planning Law, which stipulates that “it is prohibited to use technical means to select the gender of the fetus.” In addition, in the legal and regulatory system, fetal gender identification is also clearly included in the prohibited activities of the \”Measures for the Management of Human Cellular Genetic Resources\”. At the same time, the relevant behavior was clearly violated the human rights of citizens, attacked the personality rights of citizens, and was suspected of undermining social ethical risks. Therefore, it was characterized and attacked as \”illegal\”.
Why is fetal gender identification prohibited
In fact, as an act that seriously involves human rights and social public interests, the ban on fetal gender identification is not just for the superficial reason of \”choosing to have a boy or a girl.\” The deeper problem is that behind the identification of fetal gender, there are often various unspeakable and unexplainable human ethics crises. For example, fetal gender identification may lead to discrimination against female babies, imbalance of sex ratio, aging of the population and many other problems. Therefore, banning fetal gender identification is not only a legal function, but also an appeal to human conscience, public morality and civilized literacy.
Note: Responsibilities and obligations of medical workers
Although fetal gender identification is an activity that has been explicitly prohibited, due to the continuous advancement of technological means and the frequent occurrence of abuse, some unscrupulous businesses and \”black intermediaries\” are still secretly engaged in such activities. In this regard, medical workers need to keep in mind their responsibilities and obligations and properly handle the relationship with patients. First, medical workers should be more aware of their professional ethics and always keep in mind the protection of human life and dignity. Secondly, when there is any service request involving fetal gender identification, immediately refuse and report the case to the relevant unit to strictly prevent the breeding and spread of illegal activities. Third, perform your due responsibilities for social and public interests, actively participate in topic discussions, and improve your own civilized literacy and public awareness.
Note: The public’s independent awareness and supervisory power
In addition to medical workers, the general public also needs to enhance their own awareness and supervision. On the one hand, by strengthening the publicity of relevant laws, regulations and policies, we can improve people\’s legal awareness and family ethics and moral literacy, and encourage the public to pursue justice, justice and civilization. On the other hand, when signs of suspected illegal behavior are found, the public should promptly report and expose them, and assist relevant departments to investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law, so as to jointly safeguard the rule of law, civilization and conscience. In short, while social morality continues to be sublimated and improved, if people\’s demand and interest in fetal gender identification can be gradually reduced, the root of the problem can be truly solved and social consensus can be formed.
Conclusion
Fetal gender identification is an act that is not allowed by law and ethics. It is also a challenge to human dignity and social public interests. Illegal acts need to be severely cracked down on. Medical workers need to uphold professional ethics and resolutely refuse any illegal and illegal services; the public needs to actively improve their self-esteemimprove personal literacy and legal awareness, and strengthen supervision and reporting of suspected illegal activities. With the continuous improvement of social morality and the strengthening of public stance, the problem of fetal gender identification can finally be solved.
