[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine why anywhere wouldn't if you had a gender - linked issue.

I can't imagine how you could think you should have kids if you want to pay for a certain gender only.[/quote]

The latter is called family balancing and [b]is not against the currently acceptable medical ethics[/b] in the US. If you have 1 child, it's acceptable to request the opposite gender of the existing child. If people want to do it, it's not a crime against humanity. It's people like you who oppose fertility treatments all together - why, gasp, you can't imagine paying to have children...[/quote]

correct.  for some reason, however, it seems to be against SGs internal ethical codes, as we we were told that the gender of the embryos would not be revealed unless and untill we were actually pregnant.  for those unfortunate women who have to go through reductions, many doctors will allow them choose (if medically possible) based on gender as well.

When I had a consult with Ivigen (which will be doing my PGS) they said that I have to ask the doctor at SG authorize release of gender info, and Ivigen will send it to me. PGS is out of pocket, for AMA. [/quote]
