The Science Behind IVF for Gender Selection How It Works

IVF has changed the face of reproductive medicine, holding out promise to infertile couples. Among its more divisive uses is the gender selection feature, which lets parents decide whether to have a boy or a girl. The technique uses genetic testing after conception and screening prior to implantation. Some go in for it to avoid genetic illnesses, but many others do it for family balancing. This article discusses the science of in vitro fertilization for gender selection, how it is done, and the ethical issues involved.<br><br>Visit now: https://drmazenivf.com/services/gender-selection/<br>

  6. CONCLUSION CONCLUSION IVF gender selection is a technologically sophisticated procedure that gives couples the choice of selecting their child’s gender with great accuracy. Embryos are evaluated prior to implantation through preimplantation genetic testing and only those with the desired sex are implanted. Although the test is beneficial to avoid genetic conditions and attain familial balance, its ethics are still questionable.
