I think this particular article is only sick in terms of the fact that the clinic is fertilizing multiple eggs and then "weeding out" the non-keepers. THAT is sad and sick. However, I don't see anything regarding the practice of filtering only the semen to eliminate the unwanted gender and *then* fertilizing the egg (as we all know, only the semen determines gender and the egg is neutral until fertilized).

As the proud mother of 3 boys with baby boy # 4 due to arrive tomorrow, I would absolutely pay $15-20,000 to "buy" a girl next time around (although, physically, I don't think I can do a next time). The heartache and sadness I felt when finding out my new baby was not a girl was horrible. I will always love & adore all of my sons, but I will forever grieve at the loss of a mother/daughter relationship and all that entails. BUT, if given the choice of "tossing" unwanted boy embryos were the only way to get a girl, forget about it! The boys can be filtered at the sperm stage and that's how it should be done (although I'm sure the level of accuracy isn't quite as great).

This is definitely a case of needing to walk a mile in their shoes to understand completely.
