a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is accused of an

unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion.

From KQED.

From KQED in San Francisco, I'm Nina Kim. Coming up on farm, prenatal blood tests that screen for a range of fetal abnormalities are billed by their creators in Silicon Valley as reliable and accurate,

bringing peace of mind to anxious parents. But a New York Times investigation has found that positive

results on those tests are wrong about 85% of the time. We talk with the Times, Sarah Cliff.

Then a small Central Valley city has become a site of electric vehicle use innovation. We'll

learn more about a program called the Green Riteros. Join us.

This is Forum. I'm Mina Kim. About 10 years ago, companies began offering early, non-invasive prenatal

testing for chromosomal abnormalities, and it worked. A simple blood draw from the parent at about

10 weeks was found to be quite reliable at detecting Down syndrome, for example. Later, other companies wanted to get

into the space and began to offer screenings for rare, often more grave conditions. A new investigation

by the New York Times has found those tests are often wrong, giving an incorrect positive

result about 85% of the time.

Joining me now is Times investigative reporter Sarah Cliff. Welcome to Forum, Sarah.
