Preimplantation sex selection via in vitro fertilization: time for a reappraisal

Vitaly A Kushnir et al. F S Rep. .

Abstract

In recent years, there has been rapid increase in the availability of elective sex selection via genetic testing of preimplantation embryos created through in vitro fertilization. We explore the standing of this ethically controversial practice in the context of a changing legal landscape after the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health decision by the US Supreme Court.

Keywords: In vitro fertilization; preimplantation genetic testing; sex selection.
