Oh my God...choosing who the child will be before he (or she) is even born. Choosing what kind of child gets to BE born. Eliminating potential 'weirdness' (aka, the unique characteristics that makes everyone unique).

The world is going down the crapper even faster.

One company in Northern VA will only permit the sex section if and only if the couple has one baby of a opposite sex.

So which list am I on? Moral Absolutes, Canada, or OMG?
Seriously though, this is sick and unreal.

I just said OMG to get my general feeling across to those I was pinging. It's not necessarily a ping list.

But you know...the first thing that came to mind when reading this was Nazi Germany. You know, their euthanization of the elderly and the sick?

This 'prebirth sex change' parallels that situation IMO, for some reason. Anybody else thinking that?

American soil — where it's legal

Sorry, but I disagree. If a couple really have their heart set on a boy or a girl, and they have the $$ to make their dream come true, fine by me.

I was just being a smart a** to try and bring some humor to a very serious thread, but I agree, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Roughly equal number of males and females is necessary for social stability.

Huh? What about the decline in male population during and after a war? Is your statement based upon any evidence or did you just make it up?

So why is this an issue with (p)MSNBC? If the couple wanted to come to the US to have an abortion, they would be hailed as heroes!

Yet another indication of the MSM's pro-death bias.

From what I have read, gender selection is ONLY available in the US for couples who already have a child of one gender and for inherited genetic disorders.

You can't just go and say you want a boy or a girl for your first child. The purpose is for family balancing.

I don't see what the problem is if a couple already has several of one gender and wants to complete their family with a child of the other gender. As long as no embyros are destroyed.

Oh my God...choosing who the child will be before he (or she) is even born.

I think this is a good thing IMHO.

"Young males without the possibility to find a mate are a volatile group of people, to say the least."

Not that our dear allies could *POSSIBLY* be planning any adventures in which a few hundred million units of unwed/never to be wed cannon fodder could be useful.... /sarc

People will be less alarmed as sex selection becomes more routine

of course- people used to be shocked at all sorts of things that are commonplace and accepted nowadays.

The client decides whether unused embryos will be frozen, donated for research or destroyed.

Hmmm. More "extra" embryos. Be sure and don't call them babies.

...you're getting a doctor to mix it together and put it back in. ... We're not messing around with God the creator.

Not exactly.
