I'm unsure about sex selection. My answer is generally no, mainly because of the possible side-effects of IVF treatment. I also have doubts about IVF as I'm unsure whether people should have a *right* to create life. That doesn't seem right. For example if someone has a condition that means that can't have children, but can use their eggs/sperm, then are we doing ourselves a favour (human race terms) by continuing this gene line.
I know I'm wandering into dangerous areas such as eugenics. But I just can't help feeling that this is a bad path to be going down.
