Improved testing gives parents control of 'family balancing’

Abortion investigation: Improved testing gives parents control of 'family balancing’ - Telegraph: In Britain, sex selection can be done only for medical reasons, such as a parent being a carrier of a sex-linked genetic condition. Fertility doctors also have the ability to offer “family balancing” by biopsy testing IVF embryos for their sex before implantation, called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Rich couples can opt to go abroad for this, but it costs. One Californian clinic offers an “all-in” service for about £25,000.
