DISCUSSION THREAD - Sex Selection Trial in Fertility Clinic

After nine years of consultation, an ethics committee has given the green light for a fertility clinic in Texas to begin a study that will allow couples the ability to choose the sex of their baby. The clinical trial will be ran by the Baylor College of Medicine who has already received 50 inquiries from couples wanting to join the trial. Only couples who have already had one child and want the sex of their next child to be opposite are eligible for the study.

This is called gender balancing and is less controversial because it eliminates sex discrimination.

DISCUSSION THREAD

How do you feel about couples having the option of choosing the sex of their child? Do you think that it should only be allowed for couples who want to "gender balance"?
