Abstract:

The technological side of medical profession is growing day by day. Every technology as such is good to the society. But unethical and careless application of these technologies create many social and ethical problems in the world especially to the future generations. If we analyse the case of prenatal diagnosis, we can see many technological misuse- I e.,in some extent it leads to female foeticide . So technology as such is good, but we have to handle these technologies with a comprehensive axiological and ethical way, in order to have a maximum output.
