NO WAY, if your trying for a baby it should be for the right reasons Not just for 1 sex, i would love a son but have been blessed with 2 girls the thought that i wouldnt have had 1 of them and would have had a boy is just wrong.
you should love your child regardless of gender or you should not be having kids

It depends.
If parents,say, carry a gene which means that one sex will have a serious medical condition but the other will be fine, I don't have an issue.
It does concern me that a parent who wants absolute control over the gender of their child for personal reasons might be assuming they'll get a typical child of that gender. A family who won't contemplate having a boy, because they can't face the idea of a child who prefers rolling in the mud and playing football to wearing nice clothes and cooking with mummy, might handle a little tomboy very badly.
I think what really worries me is the idea of people believing that they can choose what their kids will be like. Because you can't. They're all different. And if someone can't accept that, I really don't think they should be a parent at all.

How can parents allowed to select the gender of their children?
We can't dictate what gender nature will give us.
We can wish to have a girl or a boy, but really we can't select exactly what we want. This is something beyond our power to do so.
We have to be thankful what ever nature give us.
For me, as long as the baby is normal, healthy, and beautiful all are well. Very thankful. They are yours after all. Yes, it's nice to have a girl and a boy, but if we only have girls or only boys well tough luck. But who knows what luck or fortune they will bring us in the future.
Things around us and things happening around us, are here for reasons.

If the alternative would be abortion, then no.
But saying that I desperately wanted a little girl and followed a "recipe" - i'm lucky, I got what I wanted. 2 boys and 2 girls. But I would have loved them all no matter what their sexes were.
I only wanted my last child to be a girl, as I didn't want my other daughter to be an only girl, like me. I wanted a friend for her, as my two sons were strong friends. I can't say it worked out, but I live in hope that one day they will appreciate each other!

no no no
i think it is sexist and wrong
just be grateful that you can actually have a child.
and as for the prefered sex apparently being males there would then be a slow move towards an imbalance in the demographic male/female ratio.
I personally don't agree with this being allowed at all,
only though for medical reasons where one gender could carry on a particular condition or disease.

If it's a case of selecting which sperm fertilises the egg - then why not?
I'm all for progression and seeing just how far we can take science.
If it was in anyway detrimental to the health of the child/mother ... then my opinion would be different.
A good point made above is that nature ensures a (more or less) 50/50 balance. That is very valid.

No - children are blessings from God. That is my honest belief...
but if you want some real facts, look at China.
For years families choose to have male babies, even killing off daughters, so they could have another male baby. Now their population is extremely uneven and the country is faced with serious issues. You can't continue to grow your country without both sexes of babies - those ramifications are now clear. Now families get paid to have female babies...

No, in the nature there is a fine balance between number of boys and girls which are going to be borne on the planet so that there is always approximately same number of both ganders.
But in some cases it will be more boys, people noticed, for example, one year before war in one region more boys are born....so you see, nature tries to keep the balance always...

Yes, because if you get what you don't want, then the child shall suffer the rest of it's life for that.
