The analysis

The claim specifies that Western doctors began predicting prenatal diseases and disabilities with scientific methods in the 20th century. Papers [1], [2], and [11] explicitly detail how the 20th century saw the introduction of ultrasound, genetic testing, amniocentesis, and biochemical markers that enabled prenatal diagnosis of congenital diseases and malformations. No sources refute this timeline.
