Gaar, now you are thinking. Don't go off on a tangent... focus. If you truly care for your child, you won't have an amniocentesis. There are people in America who don't believe what I just stated, because they will abort a child with genetic defects. If you don't believe in abortion, why would you want to have the amniocentesis? The probability that your child will die from amniocentesis has been calculated from 1/100 up to 1/200. For this reason, people who truly care about their children don't have the procedure. Parents who accept their children, imperfections and all, won't want to put their children in jeopardy from an unnecessary test.
