Have you heard about cloning?, sex change operations, artificial insemination, genetic engineering and other such astounding breakthrough is the highly probable ability for couple's to be able to choose the sex of their baby.

The procedure by researches at genetics and IVF Institute in FairFax, Virginia separates sperm cells by female X chromosomes, or male Y chromosomes by measuring the amount of genetic material each cell contains, before artificial insemination. The institute says the technique is now 93 percent effective.

But Just some of the other innovations, the procedure is spawning controversy and ethical questions.
Some researchers say the procedure could benefit couples who want family balance and couples at risk for sex linked genetic diseases. 
They say it could also promote family and human happiness. But concerns persist. The ability to choose a child's sex could potentially be used in societies where one sex, usually male is preferred over another, thus reinforcing the social and economic inequalities in the world.

NO, I Don't Agree!
" I don't agree with cloning humans, it is against God's way of creation to do such a thing, therefore, I don't agree.
