Britons look to US to pick baby's sex

British couples who want to choose their babies' sex are being targeted by a new clinic in Manhattan. Would-be parents are flying to the United States for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, which can reveal the sex of an embryo. The technique is banned in the UK, unless it is used to screen for genetic diseases.The US relaxed its regulations on sex selection in 2001, and medical centres have reported increased interest from British patients, who pay up to £20,000 a time. Many of them advertise their "family balancing" services through online advertisements. Scotsman
