Examining a Fetus
Question
A woman who miscarried a placenta, in principle counts impurity stringently for two weeks as though the fetus had been female. Today, when it is possible to determine the sex of the fetus in advance, can one rely on that regarding impurity after a miscarriage?
Answer
Absolutely. Why not? Is there some obligation to remain in doubt when I am not in doubt?!
