In this context, the use of Intra-Uterine Insemination(IUI) for sex selection and the invention of preimplantation genetic diagnostic(PGD through In vitro Fertilization(IVT have proven revolutionary not only to obviate the birth of children with fatal sex linked diseases but to help people to predetermine the sex of their babies.
