title: [Non-invasive genetic prenatal testing--an ethical discourse].
abstract: The non-invasive genetic prenatal testing (NIPT) provides better diagnostic results for the autosomal aneuploidies and decreases the rate of invasive diagnostic methods. With NIPT the possibility for a real screening method is given while posing a lot of ethical questions which have to be answered by the scientific and public communities.
