I actually don't mind whether people can choose the sex of the baby - in fact humans have been trying to do it for 3,000 years. But there is a real issue about the safety of the technique.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think because we could do it biologically and have our own child we decided to try this.
When a couple has a strong preference for a baby boy or girl, who is injured by allowing them to choose? Certainly not the child.
The only way I'm interested in having a baby is the old-fashioned way.
There comes a time when a human being has to either face evil or admit to allowing it. Abortion is legal in the United States, but it should not be celebrated or used as a political tool. Viable babies are human beings.
I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.
I've always been a true believer that if men had babies, nobody would be trying to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.
The truth is, no matter how trying they become, babies two and under don't have the ability to make moral choices, so they can't be bad. That category only exists in the adult mind.
We want every human being in the womb to be safe, not have these babies be killed to solve some dilemma.
We have access to practical, ethical and scientifically established methods of birth control. So I think that is the most ethical way to reduce our population.
Ultimately, the problem is that sex is perceived as a personal, intimate thing, not in the realm of science. But that's not true. It's physiology; it's anatomy. It deserves to be studied.
