Sex selection popular among infertile women

A new survey says a significant number of women being treated for infertility would choose the sex of their next child if given the option — and those as yet childless would choose baby girls and boys in approximately equal numbers.

“We found that 41 percent of patients surveyed would use preimplantation sex selection if it were offered to them at no cost,” said Dr. Tarun Jain, assistant professor of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at UIC and lead author of a study in the March issue of Fertility and Sterility.
