Sex Selection

Link (news.com.au). It is being proposed that parents should be legally allowed to determine the sex of their child through IVF. Do you believe this is right or wrong?

Personally I am against it. A child is being turned more into a product than an actual human being.

I'd say it shouldn't be allowed. You're suppose to love your kids regardless of what they may be, so just be happy that you can have a child; I know too many people that wish they could give birth to their own child, but a disorder with them prevents them from having one, forcing them to adopt instead. Also, if you want a boy/girl, just go adopt one instead of waiting 9 months to become mad about what you were given.

I think its practical, and could lead to a better and brighter future for mankind. Imagine this being the start of a world where everyone was capable of being smart, beautiful/handsome, outgoing, etc. and where they could balance the population ratio if needed.

Morally it may not be right for some, but I see no problem in it.

If you're doing stuff in the fertility clinic to try to have a certain gender child, I'm OK with that. I'm not OK with aborting a kid just because they're the wrong gender, but I'm against abortion anyway.

i rather not buy a baby...

I'm strongly against this. Couples should have to take what God gives them.

Although I don't consider myself religious at all, I feel that choosing the gender of your baby and possibly going against what was meant to be is a terrible thing.kingamez

I can see this being a good idea in some cases. Dosen't China (or was it japan) still have that single child rule, and most parents will throw away female babies

otherwise, i'm not sure i understand what they mean by sex selection, do they screw around with the fetus and give it the hormones to tip the odds towards the desired gender or something?
