Abstract

The option of choosing the sex of the offspring is a desire shown from antiquity by multiple cultures. The proposed methods have been diverse, all of them debatable since they lacked scientific evidence or supposed abortion and infanticide, a method that is still carried out in some regions of the planet. All the proposals were linked to obtaining a male child. The novelty provided by the techniques of assisted human reproduction (AHRT) and its complementary techniques such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is the possibility of selecting sex in the embryonic stage. Although the regulations in the European scope prohibit it for non-medical reasons, this is a fact that is practiced in many countries. At an ethical level, the suffering of the parents is minor in comparison with the practices discussed, but it is widely debated whether the selection of sex through PGD is morally acceptable and what reasons could be accepted
