... why is it illegal?


Because stupid slippery slope arguments keep getting made about it, pretty much saying that breeding for eye color or gender will automatically lead to Gattaca.

I'm quite fond of those. Like the showers that we'll be seeing thanks to the supreme court. /s

I think a society like Gattaca would be brilliant. If everyone was better... what would the harm be there? A greater human race. Stronger, fitter, faster, smarter...

I don't see why it's illegal. Who knows, if someone really wanted a boy or a girl, they could keep aborting till they got what they wanted. lol


Why not do what China has been doing for decades, kill off the one you want until you get what you want due to their one child policy. Oh wait... Morally wrong...

Let me let you in on a little secret.

My parents lived in China. I was that second child.

It's wrong to want a certain gender of child? I think it's wrong to hate your kid because of it's gender but if you can choose from the start why not? The only thing I have a problem with is gender imbalance like 100 males to every 1 female is really bad.
an 100 females to 1 male is really good 3nodding
Wasn't that King David? He had all these wives and concubines hundreds in fact and still wanted another mans wife!

Nah, moved to Canada. I was born in Canada.

And then we moved to the US.

I kind of wish we stayed in Canada.

Tbh, I don't think I would have cared if I was aborted. How could I? lol

Interesting... So how is it that you exist? Considering the laws dealing with only allowing one child? was that repealed at some point or did your parents break the law having you? Not trying to be offensive, I'm legitimately curious.

Eh... that is kind of disgusting. I don't believe living things should be purposely altered, created, or purposely affected in a way nature did not attend to happen without their consent.

It's interesting.. but I don't believe in the whole make it how you want it thing. Birth is suppose to be a surprise kind of thing when it comes to the gender. I feel technology to alter an unborn child should be used for the child's heath in preventing certain diseases, and disorders.

Were they urban-dwelling Han Chinese who had siblings of their own? If not, they could have had you legally.

There are numerous sex-linked diseases/disorders. Choosing the sex of your child could be an easy means of avoiding them, e.g. if a woman has endometriosis and chooses to have a son, he will not suffer from the disease as it only affects females.
