Right to life of the fetus, abortion is murder (in the event of a positive diagnosis), who has the right to decide if the test should be done, and who has the right to make decisions for the foetus if the test is positive.
Social Issues
Cost of brining a disabled baby/cost of procedure so parents may disagree, some other genetic abnormalities may be found which may lead to discrimination in insurance or employment, issues relating to confidentiality of parents (e.g. parental DNA does not match)
