Is gender selection an appropriate use of medical resources?
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.
