The technique is called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), which is carried out during IVF. Although banned in UK, it is legal in most U.S. states, Russia and the Middle East. What do you think about it? Do you prefer to choose the gender of your child or just let nature take its course?

GUEST2808	I didn't care about whether if I have a baby girl or boy. He/she is your child. Sex discrimination is no good.

GUESTLINLIN	I prefer my kid to be a boy, for they are easy to be taken care of. But I'll never do it that way and will let nature take the course.

Well, you can imagine. Yeah, China will totally be in a mass if the technique is introduced in.

GUEST94154	Due to Chinese tradition and the one child policy, Chinese couples already unofficially uses gender selection through the use of scan and abortion. Boys outnumber girls by 32 million. Official figures show that there are 122 boys born for every 100 girls. In some regions the ratio is as high as 144:100. In other industrialised countries, the ratio is 100 male to 107 female.

'gender selection through the use of scan and abortion', it haven't happened around me, at least to the people I knew. Chinese people have changed a lot and it is illegal for the doctor to tell the gender of the coming baby, let alone abortion.
