Choosing the Gender of Your Baby-PGD

This is a video about the controversial issue of Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis. In other words, PGD, choosing the gender of your baby. I made it for my chemistry class last year with two friends and recieved an A. I hope you enjoy it!

I personally agree 100% that PGD should not be used only to choose the gender of a baby. The process was developed to be used to have babies without diseases and for people in your position. We had to show both sides of the issue however as part of the assignment for this project.

I wish you the best of luck.

we got one!! and shes not a boy, despite my former self (beraucracy) thinking we'd be able to select a boy.

She survived and is here.

My embryos were screened for being chormosomally chaotic due to my turner syndrome.

Oh and we will be selecting the gender too, as one gender is much more likely to survive than the other due to my condition.

Here's to all you gender obbsessed beaches having hermaphrodite babies.

[beraucracy]

Only in the USA is it legal to use PGD for gender selection.

I'm doing PGD to increase the chances of having a live baby to 20%.

There's still going to be 1 in 5 miscarried or still birth.

If you are really so obsessed with the sex of your child....my personal opinion, you don't deserve children!
