Current
issues in sex selection
Developments
in sperm sorting technology mean that British couples may soon
have access to sex selection without the need of IVF. But should
sex selection for non-medical reasons be permitted? This conference,
organised by Progress Educational Trust, tackled the scientific,
ethical, legal and social aspects of sex selection.
