A Simple Blood Test May Show Sex Of Your Unborn Baby, Study Says

The way I see it, the option should be avaliable to expecting mothers. Personally I wouldn't take advantage of it because I like being old fationed, but the option should be there.

Typical religo-zealouts. Their answer to everything ~ keep everyone uneducated, in the dark, and believing in imaginary friends.

Any woman who would abort her baby because it's the "wrong sex" has no business being a parent. What kind of person does that?

I fully agree with the testing...I myself have 3 little girls and one little boy...my youngest daughter and my son are twins that are only 4 months old....the testing would have been great with my kids so i knew what to buy and so i could be prepared...and under no terms would abortion been a choice....no for my sister inlaw that would have been different...in may she found out she was pregnant and then 6 weeks later had an abotion cuz they told her she was having twins at age 20...now she is due in may with just one that she just found out is a daughter....i myself dont look very high of her cuz she was having twins and aborted them just cuz they were two...and now God has blessed her with just one now....Yes with some mothers and familys abortion is NOT an option..but for others (like sister inlaw) it could be the desiding factor on if you are going to be a mother at 19 or at 21....For me I got my 3 little girls and my 1little boy who happens to be the youngest and the last...Twins are the best...and I'm truly blessed with all 4 of my babies..and the testing would not have led to an abortion...I could not trade my kids for nothing...and being a mother at 21 is nothing...I was a mother at 19 and it has been the best thing for me...

It looks like I stumbled onto some weird, freakish church cult. cause prayer will not work! SOME of you sound like that family who let their daughter die because she was a diabetic and they didn't give MEDICAL assistance, they just gave her unreliable prayer. wake up! imagine all those pregnant 16 yr old bible beaters who prayed for an abortion and got it! wow, i'd go back to church!

The most striking comment I found here was from the RN who had heard parents say they would have aborted their babies had they known the sex and started over in order to get the sex they wanted. Interestingly enough I have heard the same thing from a few other mothers. Very sad, in my opinion, to think that a person would abort a perfectly healthy baby for that reason alone. I think that people really take medical science for granted. Remember, there was once a day when we coul only guess the sex of a baby through folk medicine. (Old wives' tales) I was lucky enough to know what the genders of my babies were by my body's reaction to the pregnancies and am thrilled to have 3 girls and a boy. So before we go advancing in petty science...because I believe there are more important things than knowing the sex of your baby..let's really take a long hard look at where our priorities are.

BTW...What's with all the genetic comments? This article specifically spoke about gender testing. Before there was all this talk about using it to determine whether some genetic results could be predetermined....I would have liked to see some scientific evidence that this would take the place of sex determination by ultrasound, and amniocentisis. What would happen if someone aborted because they believed the sex of their baby to be certain, and indeed the test turned out wrong? If the test does say that the baby is a certain sex...should it take the place of ultrasound or further testing, or should those procedures also be required as follow up to ensure a more accurate prognosis? I would like to see those questions answered.

As the mother of a 5 year old boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) I have to say that the genetic disorders are the reason why this test is important and so valuable. I am a carrier of the DMD gene so any male child I have has a 50% chance of being born with DMD. A girl wouldn't have the disorder, they would have a 50% chance of being a carrier like I am. There is currently no cure for DMD and it is 100% fatal, usually before age 30. I love my son with all my heart, he is my world. But, I will not knowingly submit another one of my children to the hardships he's going to have to face because of his disorder. If faced with an accidental pregnancy I'd much rather have the information on gender early on so I could make the tough decision on wether or not to terminate before I was in my second trimester of pregnancy.

Thanks to all who posted kind words and support in response to my first post on this article. My husband and I just got back our test results and found out our baby is a girl, with none of the genetic flaws that could be related to her gender. :)

Such articles do help to liberalize and I want to thank you for that! But to understand the details, one should read a lot of literature, which is not enough in the internet. To make the search easier, you may http://www.pdfqueen.com use pdf ebooks search engine
