while genetics & the associated research has a bearing on this case, as do religious beliefs and concerns about genderism in 3rd world countries - I think we are missing the point.
In my opinion the debate is about ethical issues - scientific research into IVF treatments and the treatments themselves, involve the "creation" of human embryo's. Many embryo's "die" during subsequent procedures.
Many partners have had children using these techniques, who otherwise would not have been able to have any - currently acceptable in the uk.
Using these techniques to add a gender specific child to an existing family is not acceptable in the uk, but can be done abroad.
Whatever the "meaning of life" I don't think we should get too blasÃÃâ€*’© about "creating" life to suit our whims. Where do we draw the line?
