As in many other European countries, the Czech Republic, sex selection in assisted reproduction is prohibited and is considered extremely unacceptable. In Britain, however, some ethicists are beginning to speak otherwise.

Without fluctuations

People who prefer their child in a gender-specific to usually have their own very personal reasons.
They are often linked with a family situation or the past.

Example is the Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which affects only boys. However, not all countries in the world have the same legislation.
