Abstract
Fetal evaluation may be accomplished in the future using techniques experimental at this time. These include direct visualization of the fetus by endoscopy, biopsy of fetal tissues, and indirect techniques accomplished in the laboratory. It is hoped that in the future technology may provide us with means to diagnose the abnormal fetus more accurately and rapidly than currently. Possible methods are discussed.Keywords
