Has science progressed to the level yet where couples can choose the sex of their child? Or is it still like hundreds or thousands of years ago where a couple has to keep trying and trying for a boy or a girl?

Nowadays it's illegal to choose a boy or girl because you're assuming and ascribing a gender. I'm expecting any day now where white people will be encouraged not to make babies and let brown people make babies to even things out. At least until white males are the smallest minority and there are more gays than straight people. Oh and only minorities get to vote too.

It's the right thing to do... ...

I am pretty sure he was joking, but technically in some countries it is as they have rules against genetic engineering of babies. Not in the US though.

yes i've heard this also that in china and india it is illegal to tell people the sex of their child before birth, i don't think it is in the u.s. though. But i don't think science has evolved to the point yet where you can choose before fertilization.

Pretty sure it has been possible since the 90's. Possibly the late 80s.

I'm not sure. Some ivf science shit I'm sure. Some even crazier future, using animals to birth human babies to protect the mother from the dangers of pregnancy.

embryonic screening is not genetic engineering
