Fertility Ethicists OK Sex Selection of Embryos

Under certain circumstances, says a fertility ethicist, it is OK for a couple to use invitro fertilization to choose the sex of their child. According to this article on Excite News, the ethicists say it's OK as long as the couple already has children of the opposite sex. Other ethicists were surprised by the decision, calling the selection of sex the start of a discrimination slippery slope which will end in selection of color, intelligence, etc. In other words, a lack of diversity.
