They are interested in IVF with PGD because they want to select a
male embryo. How do you proceed?
Discussion
The use of PGD solely for the purpose of sex selection is controversial. Is
preimplantation sex selection considered gender bias? Many would consider having a
baby of the nondesired gender not “bad enough” to justify IVF and PGD, while others

that infertility practices should have policies regarding this subject and apply the policy
fairly to all patients.
Note that in some cases, sex selection may be beneficial to prevent transmission of
recessive X-linked genetic diseases (e.g., hemophilia A and Duchenne muscular
dystrophy).
