title: Is gender selection an appropriate use of medical resources?
abstract: Gender selection by PGD is an appropriate use of medical resources. Children borne through PGD for gender determination would be welcome and would come into a couple's life at a planned, opportune time. If the practice were made more available through insurance coverage, the size and makeup of families could become a matter of choice rather than chance for couples favoring this approach.
