For them, prenatal genetic testing makes little sense. Ko Tsang-ming, obstetrician-gynecologist at NTUH, says that in Taiwan prenatal genetic diagnosis is in principle carried out to identify serious, incurable diseases that would place a very significant physical and psychological burden on mother and child. When a serious disease is found, the pregnancy can be terminated quickly, and a tragedy can be avoided.
台大婦產科醫師柯滄銘表示，國內現行的產前基因診斷，原則上是針對嚴重的、在可預見的將來無法治療、會造成身心方面很大負擔的疾病，篩檢出來後可以儘速終止懷孕、避免悲劇發生。
