If and when I have children I don't want to know the gender until the arrival in the delivery room. Have to have some surprise in life! So I don't think I would be picking a gender ahead of time.

Look at China and the problems there. One child only, boys are favored...and now there are all these boys and no girls for them to marry. Though this has made some dreams of being a parent come true through adoption in the states, it is still heartbreaking.

I have a whole other issue (and we'll save it for another thread) on the fertility treatments that result in lots of children (and some may have to be aborted due to health risks) and really invasive treatments, when there are so many children that need loving parents and good homes.
