USA Today Examines Ethical, Regulatory Issues, Efficacy Of Early Fetal Sex-Determination Tests
Some researchers are questioning the accuracy and ethics of blood and urine tests that claim to determine the sex of a fetus as early as five or six weeks' gestation, USA Today reports.

Diana Bianchi of Tufts-New England Medical Center said that the tests could give inaccurate results for women who have had previous pregnancies because fetal cells and white blood cells remain in a pregnant woman's blood for decades, so the cells could be from previous pregnancies. The Web sites are "kind of using smoke and mirrors to say that these test results are scientific," Bianchi said.
Lily Nguyen -- product manager for the Tell Me Pink or Blue tests, made by Consumer Genetics -- said about 30 women have received refunds for inaccurate results, adding that nearly 2,000 pregnant women have taken the test since its launch in May 2006.

According to Bianchi and Kathy Hudson, director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center, there is no government agency regulating the tests. More than 100 plaintiffs recently filed a federal lawsuit in Massachusetts claiming that the company Acu-Gen Biolab refused refunds for inaccurate results for its Baby Gender Mentor test. The company declined to comment on the case, USA Today reports.

Hudson said that even if the tests are accurate, the "question is: How are people going to use that information? I think it would be troubling if people were selectively terminating pregnancies based on the gender." Jesse Reynolds, a policy analyst at the Center for Genetics and Society, said that "there are sex-selective abortions throughout the world. We shouldn't simply dismiss this as a problem that's 'over there'" (Rubin, USA Today, 7/16).
