How can you be entitled to choose the sex of your child? This is the problem, when people start thinking that just because we can do something, we automatically should do it, and have a right to do it. Nobody has a right to have a child. Some people can, some people can't. Infertility treatments have sort of leveled that playing field, but is it a right? Is it also a right to have attractive, intelligent, blonde, blue-eyed children? And where do we draw the line? Why on earth should someone be "entitled" to choose the gender of their child? Would you feel differently if they were allowed to abort already implanted fetuses that were the wrong gender?
