A karyotype test is basically a test that analyzes your chromosomes. It tells you how many chromosomes a person has and looks at the structure of each chromosome individually.
As we all know, there are different diseases that comes from chromosomal abnormality. If the number of chromosomes is less or more than the 46, it causes some problems which comes from the defects with the division of the egg or zygote. One example can be a people who has a additional chromosome in his/her 21st chromosome, in other words down syndrome. A karyotype can be done before the baby born to determine chromosome numbers of the baby. Anyway, there are two ways to do a karyotype; one is amniocentesis and the other one is Chorionic villis sampling. In order to make Amniocentesis doctors use a long needle to take out some of the liquid that surrounds the developing baby, for the Chorionic villis sampling, doctors get a sample of the cells from the 'villi' of the placenta. Both of these methods are invasive and expensive, so it's only recommended in cases when there is more likelihood of a chromosomal abnormality. For instance, doctors must decide if it's necessary to make a karyotype or not. It's not a decision that parents can make, the decision that can done by parents should be ' the abortion or not.' Doctors can only supply the results of the test and worn parents about it but the rest is all on the mother and the father's shoulders. Because they are the ones who are responsible of that baby's future.
If I found out that my future child had a chromosomal anomaly, honestly I would made my decision on the abortion side. I would not want to give a hard life to that baby since he/she doesn't deserve such a life. The healthiest decision for me and that baby would be the abortion. Because after the first minute that child born, the whole world and people perspectives will be different on him/her, that child never get the same rights as other people. Every single person wants to give the best life for their child so i would think it's not the good life to live. Maybe it's hard to let strange people to get 'your' baby from your body just as separating a part from your body, it would be the right decision for that innocent unborn baby.
have a good week :)
