Should have posted in another forum (infertility?). This is entertainment.

This may have been mentioned before, but she chose the sex not the gender.

Big old "who cares"... About this couple, this choice, this topic, and for gods sake the syntax police. People like you make all conversations suck.

Op here. I actually didn't want a debate of whether or not it's sex or gender. I want to know why it's so controversial to some people to choose if it's going to be male or female but those same people are "pro choice"

Aren't all doctors tampering with our bodies and playing God??
NP. I do see where you're coming from, but at the same time those are all designed to help people already in existence, not make decisions about what kind of person to create in the first place. It feels like a significant difference to me and maybe a bridge too far. Nature has come to a finely tuned equilibrium of sex balance in the human population over millions of years of evolution and it seems short-sighted and possibly fraught with unintended consequences to start making it a widely acceptable choice to mess with that. We cannot possibly know what all the effects would be on a macro scale.
Actually to me it's the same, just more widely accepted. By curing or prolonging the life of individuals who would otherwise have died, we are including their genes in the gene pool. When they procreate, they carry on their "defective gene" which also has long-lasting effects on humankind.
