Hello I am back with another Opinion thread So I heard that some parents used various methods to chose the gender of their child before they were born. Now tell me what is your opinion
Parents don't change their child's gender. Parents choose their child's preferred gender. Once your baby has developed sexual organs, you can't actually change it. In my opinion, if parents want to choose their child's gender, let them. Sure, it's kind of a douche move when children can't choose their own gender, but parents are going to spend the rest of their lives with that child. If having a girl makes them happier than having a boy, I say, go for it.
As I am not sure of the science behind this idea... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/08/27/should-parents-get-to-decide-a-child-s-gender.html http://www.mamamia.com.au/change-the-gender-of-your-child-after-it-is-born/ http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/...ment_unnecessary_and_potentially_harmful.html http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/03/sex-selection-babies http://www.cbsnews.com/news/choose-the-sex-of-your-baby-13-04-2004/ Should be enough opinions for you.

I mean sure its a douche move by the parents but the babys never really had a choice to begin with. I dont even know why im arguing about this. Anyway, i would oppose it. China had that option and looked what happened to them, all sons and hardly any girls, now they gotta look out the country to even get girls. Although that option was a much much crueler process.
