Guarantee The Sex Of Your Baby: Choose A Girl Or Boy Using Today's 99. 99% Accurate Sex Selection Techniques
For many people, having a large family isn't a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. "The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection" guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available -- from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy. The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But "The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection" does more than explain how the technology works -- it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or "in vitro" fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell disease, and Huntington's disease.
