Sperm Sorting

Sperm classification While we are still in the womb, we tried for a while to determine the sex of the child. If you want to slow sweets and heart rate, there is a girl baby. Eating a lot of salty food, especially having a healthy baby or holding a baby low means that it is time to start painting the baby's room blue. Advances in science have allowed us to transcend the stories of these ancient wives and to determine the sex of prenatal children by using ultrasound.

There are many ways to choose prenatal child's sex, such as sperm classification (used for sex by gender, subsequent artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization) or preimplantation genetic diagnosis. One of the latest methods is "fetal DNA examination" which is known to contain baby's DNA in the blood of pregnant mothers after 6 weeks gestation. However, this is not the main reason for the spirituality of people, it is not the main reason for this society.

If sex selection by sperm selection is not desirable, the reason must be beyond the debate about embryonic moral status. One of the reasons is that selection of sex is a tool for differentiation by sex, as can be seen from the low sex ratio of India and China. It is speculated that a society with more men than women is unstable and violent and prone to crime and war. These are legitimate concerns - but sperm screening companies have a smart way to fix them. It only provides MicroSort for couples who want to choose their child's gender to achieve 'family balance'. People who have more sons than their daughters can choose girls, and vice versa. However, customers can not use this technology to preserve the gender of homosexual children or eldest sons. (So ​​far, most MicroSort customers have chosen girls.) Under this limitation, is there any ethical problem to interrupt?

The latest technology raises the question of sexual selection, which is not affected by the ethical state of the embryo. The Genetics and In vitro fertilization laboratory is a commercial fertility clinic in Fairfax, Virginia, offering sperm classification technology to select sex of pregnancy children. Sperm containing X living young girls carries higher levels of DNA than sperm containing Y of fertile boys; a device called flow cytometer can separate them. This process, called MicroSort, achieved a high success rate.
