In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a process that does not determine the sex of the baby. It is a technique used to help couples conceive, and while it involves manipulating eggs and sperm, it does not involve any selection based on gender.
The decision to select a specific gender is a separate procedure called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). This procedure can be used in conjunction with IVF to screen embryos for genetic disorders, and it can also be used to identify the sex of the embryo. However, it is important to note that PGD is used for medical reasons and is not used to determine the sex of the baby unless there is a medical reason to do so.
Here are some important points to consider:
- IVF is a medical procedure used to help couples conceive.
- PGD is a separate procedure that can be used to screen embryos for genetic disorders or to identify the sex of the embryo.
- PGD is used for medical reasons and should not be used to select the sex of the baby unless there is a medical reason to do so.
