Family balancing is a personal decision for many families who desire an equal number of boys and girls. For instance, after welcoming a son, a couple might wish to have a daughter next, or they may desire the opposite. Thanks to advancements in fertility treatments, families can now test embryos to find out their sex before implantation. Our team of fertility experts is dedicated to guiding you through this process, making family balancing and gender selection a reality.
Your Family, Your Choice
The sex of a baby is determined at the moment of conception when a sperm fertilizes an egg. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, the embryo will develop into a girl (XX), and if it carries a Y chromosome, it will result in a boy (XY). With preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), you can not only check the health of your embryos but also see if they will be male or female. While some parents may prefer not to know the sex of their embryos, others find it beneficial for planning their families.
Ethical Considerations
It’s important to think about the ethical implications of gender selection. Choosing a baby’s sex for non-medical reasons could lead to societal gender imbalances, raising concerns about social stability. Moreover, the potential misuse of reproductive technology for non-medical purposes is a topic that deserves careful consideration. Every family’s situation is unique, and decisions about gender selection should be made thoughtfully with professional guidance.
