That instruction must include an ultrasound video that meets the following criteria:

 

1. A high-definition, high-quality, computer-generated rendering or animation;

2. At least three (3) minutes in duration;

3. Shows the development of the brain, heart, sex organs, and other vital organs in early fetal development; and
