hi! i'm researching gender selection for an english paper and i really don't know which side i should support.

should i be against gender selection? saying that it's not right for humans to "play god" and kill innocent babies?

or should i be pro gender selection? i mean we've come so far with this technology, why let it go to waste when we can use it?

just wanted to know your thoughts on this issue! it might help me pick a side!

Gender selection, eh?



Bad Idea - China and India frequently use sonograms to terminate female fetus'. The problem I have with this is that at the earliest you can determine the gender is 16 weeks, most confirmations of gender happen around 20 weeks.



Good Idea - Sexing embryos, they do this in fertility treatments centers. They do this very early and either dump or freeze the rest of the embryos. I don't think this is nearly as questionable as waiting until you can sex the fetus via sonogram that is done way to late in the game.

i think of persons could have the in basic terms suited selection for their reproduction conduct. I additionally think of governments shouldn't quickly intervene with those selections. although, governments can and might upload incentives considering the fact that those selections finally impact the way forward for the governments. So if a central authority thinks there could be extra human beings, it might subsidize little ones. If it thinks there could be much less human beings, it might tax little ones. If it thinks too many human beings %. a undeniable gender over yet another so it turns right into a project, it may subsidize the different gender to repair it. this sort, guy or woman selection is secure, however the government can shape its very own demographics too.
