I think the "unethical" part lies on the parents. It's not the doctor's fault the parents have ulterior motives with this procedure. Poor parenting is the problem if they think they’ve created Superman and love him more than their other kids. Just because some parents take things in a different direction doesn't mean everyone shouldn't have the option.

Thanks all_smiles. That's basically what I was saying. Some people show preferences with their children. That's just a fact. If a family has five boys and a girl comes along, that girl will get some sort of preferential treatment and vice versa. That all lies on the parents. Doctors just do their job. Like you said, God has the overall say-so. Ethics lie with the parents.
