VERY VERY worrying

Am I alone in thinking this is immoral, disgusting and very disturbing?

Saw her on GMTV this morning... medically it is within "reason", cosmetically is a no-no.....

How can chosing the sex of your child ever be 'medically reasonable'?

Now this is getting a bit to far into the 'playing god' way of things.

Unless there is a medical reason things should just be left to nature.

Whilst I am not in favour of this, you have to consider the point the lady makes -

It opens a whole can of worms regarding abortion etc.

That is so wrong unless it is for medical reasons

I don't see why be able to 'plan' your family is a problem ? Surely it will lead to a happier more stable family unit ?

It's not as if this will become the 'norm' with long queues outside fertility clinics !!

Tests are available now to check gestating mothers for genetic faults in unborns, not a giant leap to testing for gender.

Lets face it, it's probably about 50/50 what gender child parents wish for, so I don't envisage an unbalancing in the gender balance. This perhaps can't be said of countries such as China (heard of the killing rooms where female babies are left to starve to death ??) and Italy where I understand females are in short supply !

If you don't believe in God then surely you can appreciate the dangers of interefering with "Mother Nature". Who on earth are we to mess with a power MUCH great than us, and which we could never understand?

Hi...I think it is something to do with a free world?? and freedom of choice..IMHO it only concerns the Lady and her family..If they are happy with THEIR decision then be happy that they are happy..
*takes to the shelters and waits for the flack*

Free world? So am I free to walk in to a car showroom and just drive off in a brand new car? Yes it's a free world to a point - but there are limits to every society. Children are a gift - from who depends on your beliefs. God, Mother Nature etc. So what is this woman saying? Oh thank you for the gift, only this time, I'll decide on how it comes out.

Receipe for disaster IMO. There WILL be repercussions.

God chose the sex of his only begotten Son didn't he so if it's good enough for Him it's good enough for the rest of us mere mortals :D

I can see where Russ is comong from, today you can choose the sex - tomorrow who knows what, colour of eyes/hair, left/right handed or even sexual orientation ( if you believe that that is something you are born with ;) ) :eek:

But where does it end? Do we start selecting on the basis of colour of hair/eyes? Height? Maybe we'd like a page three girl who can support us in luxury in our twilight years?

"I'll have a blonde green-eyed girl with a 38D bust please!"

The world's gone mad.

(Who's wife is pregnant with a child of unknown sex - we don't know, we don't want to know and we'll be happy either way!)
