GirlBye 27,959 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Article: "Even an actress did it"... 'overseas pregnancies' of choosing the baby's sex on the riseSource: SBS via NateArticle talks about how women are going overseas for gender selection procedures at fertility clinics abroad. Such procedures are banned in Korea as it is only used to prevent genetic diseases.1. [+635, -50] In this day and age, people are still being picky over the sex of their child? ã…‹ã…‹ How barbaric2. [+515, -48] The world's gotten so advanced~ I know someone who had four daughters and just gave up... the stress must be crazy. It's not about life ethics... wouldn't you be pissed too if you only got one gender for your third or fourth kid in a row? Even if it's 50:50...3. [+421, -32] I know a relative who has four sons;;; they wanted a daughter so bad for their last but it was a son again... From what I hear, if you don't have a son as your first child, the mother-in-laws will go around asking other mothers with sons for their underwear to increase the chances of their own daughter-in-law getting a son.4. [+64, -8] I honestly support gender selection after your third child.5. [+61, -16] People talk about how daughters are more preferred now but reality is that people will be like "sure having a daughter's great... but you need! a son."6. [+58, -6] I'm currently pregnant with my second child and when I'm out on the streets, grandmas and grandpas will come up to me asking about the sex and I'll say it's a daughter~~~ and they'll be like "your first is a son, right?" and when I say my first is a daughter, they tsk tsk tsk and say, "Looks like you need to have a third now"... so stressful ã… ã… ã… I'd honestly do gender selection if it could guarantee that my third would end up a son.7. [+56, -9] I can kind of understand why people would want to choose the genders... especially families where they've had two daughters or sons in a row. I don't think it'd be a bad idea to let those families choose the gender of their next child. It would also encourage people to have more children...8. [+40, -0] What does any of this matter... your child should be beautiful to you regardless of its sex. And when they're all grown up, they'll have their own lives and their own families to live and you're back on your own as a couple again. Kids are all about how you raise 'em..9. [+36, -13] This honestly doesn't seem like something humans should be able to control... it's scary...10. [+33, -2] I know a family who went to America to get this done... There are still households that demand a son to continue the line and for the women in those households, it might be better to just pay for gender selection than live all of your pregnancies under stress and fear, on top of repeatedly having babies hoping for a son.11. [+28, -6] Daebak, 99% of these procedures are done to have a son... people talk all the time about how daughters are preferred but everyone's just trying to get sons. I have a friend who has a daughter and is always going on about how daughters are the best and how she doesn't care if her next baby is a daughter but I found out she has secretly been taking herbal medicine that supposedly helps in getting sons.

My friends' parents had all daughters and only stopped producing after their last child was a Son. I have only seen one the other way around.lol..

Ash Ketchum 4,333 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Gender distribution would go to shit if this becomes more and more practiced. Hope you're ready for a sausage fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgl 5,919 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 This is really odd and might mess with the natural gender balance. Just look what China... I really don't care much. I'd like to have a kid from each gender, but first and foremost I just want them to be healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this ..? superstitions,i see that we became more and more advanced yet we go back and back...does are the type who will make spells to make the person have a boy type while i wouldn't really care what the child is and let mother nature decide upon it i can see there are couples who want to have maybe only girls or boy as first/second child,my friend wished for her first child to be a boy but only because they decided from the start to have more kids and wanted a boy to protect the girl if they had one as well but no for family reputation,name or other things like that,yet she had a girl and after a boy but even so if she didn't have she said it wouldn't matter as long as they are healthy..Not sure how other countries work as mentality but i think in SK is more strong the thing with their boy first son thing,were i live the vast doesn't care at all if first child is a girl and hell not will think as a letdown or "Shame" if they have girls and not sons like those comments show,should think that not everyone think like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALICO CAT 8,999 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I understand the sentiment though. If you have 3 or 4 children and they're all the same gender, you'd probably want to try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
