Australian couple sue to determine sex via IVF

 A couple in Australia is suing for the right to  use IVF to choose the sex of their next child. Currently this is not allowed unless their is a risk of passing on a genetic disease. This couple has three sons and lost a daughter. They  must  be literally out of their mind with grief and need serious counseling.
They aborted twin boys  conceived through IVF  for being the wrong sex and do not want to go on conceiving and aborting  so they are suing for the right to do sex selection via IVF.

The article included a poll asking fellow Aussies "Should parents be allowed to choose the sex of a baby? " 87%  said NO. One dr. disagrees pointing out that we allow people to abort if they don't get the sex they want. So they want the embryos tested prior to implantation and skip the implant only a female and get rid  of the males embryos.  I guess you could say what's the difference, they are just aborting at an earlier stage.
No explanation how they got their first  four children or why they would not consider adoption or adoption of the male embryos they are not interested in. They want what they want. What do you think?

Boy or Girl....the answer could be deadly

New Zealand has announced a new gender test that can predict the sex of your baby as early as 8 weeks. There is much consternation and chatter because the unspoken motivation is to have an early abortion if the gender does not meet your requirements. At first I thought why is everyone upset now! No one asks why you want to have the abortion, just pay the money the reason is not important to anyone.
But what is happening is that it allows an earlier and easier (?) cheaper abortion if the sex does not match up. Never mind false positives....just get rid of him/her and try again. It goes along with our total disregard for life and the cheapness of it all. I want what I want after all.

I just returned from a church conference where this was a point of some discussion and shock. This is what happens when we ignore the abortion issue. We slide quickly down the slippery slope. The quality of life trumps the sanctity of human life.
