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.

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.

Just killing the babies the rest of the world doesn't want to kill.

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.

I think this is a good thing IMHO.

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.

Who put the "homosexual agenda" keyword? That sort of stuff messes up the keyword searches.

Cheapening of Life continues. What kind of a man wants their child to be conceived via a test tube anyway (assuming there are no fertility problems that make it necessary)?

If people were sorting out gay gened babies, I guarantee the media take on this would be totally different.

The people running these fertility clinics are reactionary scum, and should bne sued for hate crimes.

Imagine, in this day and age, claiming to offer "sex selection", and only giving two choices.

What's wrong with parents wanting to choose the gender of their children? I went to the webside of The Fertility Institutes, the company mentioned in the article, and they are offering 99.99% accurate gender selection for only $18.5 thousand. That's a pretty reasonable price for an almost certain outcome.

If parents want to balance their families, and are willing to pay the several hundred thousand dollars it takes these days to raise a child through college, then the cost of gender selection constitutes a small fraction of that total cost.

MORAL ABSOLUTES PING

DISCUSSION ABOUT:

Wealthy couples head to U.S. to pick baby's sex

Soon we will be at a point where the eugenicists are killing dozens of embryos for every birth.
