Many couples resort to gender selection of the unborn child because they have all offspring of one gender and want to balance their family with an offspring of the opposite gender. Although clinical gender selection is performed by qualified doctors in infertility clinics, many people prefer non-clinical methods for selecting the gender of the fetus. However, these methods have no scientific basis and are at the most unreliable.
Gender selection by clinical methods performed at infertility clinics, on the other hand, is reliable. Clinical methods for selecting the gender of the unborn child include Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS), Amniocentesis and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. All these methods are invasive methods and out of them pre-implantation genetic diagnosis is performed before the embryo is implanted in the uterus, whereas, CVS and amniocentesis are performed much afterwards. These methods also help in detecting genetic anomalies like Down’s syndrome, Trisomy, Thalassemia, Turner’s syndrome et al.
