| Description | CAMPAIGNERS last night warned couples “not to play God” with a revolutionary home test that reveals an unborn baby’s sex at six weeks.
They fear the £189 kit will create a massive leap in abortions if would-be parents are not having the gender they want.
Michaela Aston, spokeswoman for the charity LIFE, said: “This test is very dangerous. It could lead to babies being aborted simply for being the ‘wrong’ sex.”
And Julia Millington, of the Prolife Alliance, said: “There is a real risk that some people would choose to abort babies of a certain gender.”
The earliest couples had previously known the gender of their baby was at the 20-week scan — four weeks before the legal limit for an abortion.
