How Far Would You Go to Select Your Baby's Gender?
There are near endless myths about ways to determine your baby's sex, but most of you seem skeptical about seriously trying to influence your baby's gender. That's not a universal truth — news from Britain says a growing number of couples are undergoing procedures at clinics overseas to determine the gender of their babies.
BBC recently captured footage of Londoners at a Turkish fertility clinic that guaranteed if pregnancy occurred it would be of the chosen sex. Doctors can determine the sex of a baby using IVF and a type of embryo screening called pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Sex selection is illegal in Turkey and the UK, so the clinic in question is now under investigation.
