use of amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling

read the short article and write a three to four paragraph synopsis and personal comment about one of the article(s) utilizing one of the psychological theories/ perspectives presented in your text, i.e., psychoanalytic theory, behaviorism, cognitive theory, sociocultural theory, and epigenetic systems theory in your reaction to this issue.
The current use of amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling are invasive and may cause a miscarriage. A new technique uses only some blood from the mother and saliva from the father to allow the DNA of the fetus to be sequenced noninvasively to determine which genetic diseases the unborn child will likely develop in its lifetime. The technique will be available in a few years. After reading the article linked below, do you think that more expectant mothers and fathers will use the information to decide on keeping or aborting the fetus? Do you think that expectant mothers and fathers will be pressured by others to have the new noninvasive testing done?
