Acceptable sex selection.
John Robertson presents a persuasive argument against government prohibition of preconception sex selection (PSS) as long as there is no actual evidence of significant social harm from allowing the technology to be freely available. I am convinced by what he says about PSS and have argued along similar lines in my own work (Rhodes 1995). In these comments, I will press Robertson's conclusion in several directions to show what more he might have said in its defense.
