Thumbs up UK article about genetic "sex selection"

I posted a message some time ago about genetic techniques for parents to choose the sex of their baby before the child is born. Here is article from Uk pertaining to that. Anybody want an intersexed baby?

Good...I'm glad to see this. I got into a major disagreement on another board with the parent of an intersex child. She had recommended to somene else to go with IVF and choose a boy so the "trauma" of surgery wouldn't need to be dealt with.

As a person with the condition in question (CAH), I found it insulting and horrifying to think that someone would recommend sex selection because a baby with a body like mine would be too difficult.
