There are parents out there who wish for a baby boy or girl- you know how some couples won't stop trying to get pregnant until they get a specific baby gender they want, some couples ended up getting a divorce only because a man wanted to have a boy and a woman wanted to have a girl. Some are lucky and some are don't. Well not anymore because gender selection is now possible. Getting the baby you want can now happen if you undergo in vitro fertilisation using a screening process called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
There are two major types of pre-implantation methods can be used for gender selection; PGD and Sperm Gender Selection. PGD is performed in the laboratory when the growing embryos are at the eight-cell stage. An opening is made in the outer membrane of the mebryo, and one cell is removed for analysis.
