00:00:00
it's becoming more common for couples to
00:00:02
choose the gender of their child the
00:00:08
process involves a combination of in
00:00:09
vitro fertilization and a genetic
00:00:12
screening called PGD during PGD embryos
00:00:15
are tested for genetic abnormalities and
00:00:18
the doctor can reveal the gender of the
00:00:19
embryos if parents opt in we already
00:00:22
have a healthy daughter and so we are
00:00:25
talking about choosing the sex and
00:00:27
choosing a son the second time around
00:00:29
recently the process gave more attention
00:00:32
when model chrissy teigen went public
00:00:34
with her ivf and gender selection
00:00:36
process
00:00:37
she had a goal in April 2016 and a boy
00:00:40
this may like most women Tegan and
00:00:43
MacKinnon didn't set out to choose
00:00:45
gender they underwent IVF to treat
00:00:47
infertility and then found out the test
00:00:49
for genetic diseases could also reveal
00:00:51
gender before starting IVF there was not
00:00:55
even a thought in my mind that you could
00:00:57
choose gender we just assumed that you
00:00:59
have a child and it's just luck of the
00:01:02
draw and you get what you get and then
00:01:04
once we started IVF and there was this
00:01:06
opportunity to choose a gender it
00:01:09
becomes very enticing
00:01:12
[Music]
00:01:14
while it was medically necessary for
00:01:16
MacKinnon some clinics are now
00:01:18
advertising gender selection as the
00:01:21
primary reason for women to undergo IVF
00:01:23
at the forefront of this trend is the
00:01:26
fertility Institute's this series of
00:01:28
clinics is known for sex selection
00:01:30
despite the nearly $20,000 price tag 85%
00:01:34
of their patients come for this reason
00:01:36
the bulk of the patients that we see are
00:01:38
doing in vitro fertilization only to
00:01:41
choose the gender we do not require
00:01:42
people to have a first baby in order to
00:01:45
request the gender on the second baby
00:01:46
MacKinnon was shocked people would go to
00:01:49
such lengths that does surprise me that
00:01:51
there would be an opportunity to choose
00:01:55
a gender just because you want to it was
00:01:57
such a hard and long and labouring
00:02:01
process to even get to the point of
00:02:03
being pregnant it was just an added
00:02:05
bonus that we could choose the gender
00:02:09
worldwide many countries banned site
00:02:11
selection unless it's medically
00:02:12
necessary including Australia China
00:02:14
Canada India and the UK it's unregulated
00:02:18
in the u.s. that Steinberg says most
00:02:20
clinics have strict requirements most
00:02:22
clinics in the u.s. I would say 98%
00:02:24
require that it either be for family
00:02:27
balancing or for some genetic reason and
00:02:29
again most clinics over 70% of the
00:02:31
clinics in the US won't do it at all
00:02:33
they just don't want to be bothered with
00:02:35
gender selection a common concern is
00:02:37
that gender selection will skew the
00:02:39
population like in China and India where
00:02:41
boys are favored but in steinberg's
00:02:44
clinics the ratio is nearly 50/50 some
00:02:47
ethicists are worried that this trend is
00:02:49
a slippery slope inevitably leading to
00:02:51
designer babies already the fertility
00:02:54
Institute's is advertising eye color
00:02:56
selection to parents and the option to
00:02:58
eliminate genetic abnormalities raises
00:03:00
hard questions about the value of
00:03:02
disability in society it was a really
00:03:05
interesting thought process knowing that
00:03:08
we could choose potentially choose the
00:03:09
gender you know is this messing with
00:03:11
God's plan is this something that we
00:03:14
shouldn't even be involved with but
00:03:16
ultimately we
00:03:18
decided that because this science and
00:03:21
technology is available to us why not
00:03:23
take advantage of it
00:03:25
Henk really a lawyer specializing in
00:03:27
medical ethics says there's no consensus
00:03:30
about what should or should not be
00:03:31
permissible when it comes to using
00:03:33
genetic analysis to hand pick traits
00:03:36
[Music]
00:03:38
some people think it should only be used
00:03:40
to avoid serious diseases whatever a
00:03:43
serious disease is and whoever gets to
00:03:45
define that others think it should be
00:03:47
usable for any disease others see no
00:03:50
problem with hair color eye color skin
00:03:52
color but have real problems for things
00:03:54
like intelligence or sports ability or
00:03:58
math ability while don't disagree that
00:04:00
we're nowhere close to determining
00:04:02
intelligence or athleticism Steinberg
00:04:05
predicts cosmetic traits are on the
00:04:07
horizon I think in our lifetimes we're
00:04:09
gonna see hair color we're gonna see
00:04:11
hair texture and we may see height
00:04:13
brilliant Steinberg emphasizes it with
00:04:15
genetic analysis trait selection is
00:04:17
limited by the parents genes if parents
00:04:20
don't carry the genes for blue eyes they
00:04:22
can't create a blue-eyed kid and if they
00:04:24
don't produce male embryos through IVF
00:04:26
they can't have a boy right now
00:04:29
fertility treatments are expensive and
00:04:31
usually not covered by insurance but
00:04:34
really believes that insurance companies
00:04:36
will start to subsidize the cost of IVF
00:04:38
as eliminating genetic diseases may save
00:04:41
them money in the long run if this
00:04:44
future comes to pass sex selection would
00:04:46
become a very real option for everyone
00:04:48
and as genetic analysis improves the
00:04:51
list of traits parents can choose will
00:04:52
only grow
00:04:54
then there's new gene editing techniques
00:04:56
like CRISPR which open up the
00:04:58
possibility of truly creating designer
00:05:00
babies what gets people really excited
00:05:03
about embryo editing as issues of
00:05:04
enhancement not just fixing diseases but
00:05:07
changing people to make them bigger
00:05:09
better stronger to make them x-men but
00:05:13
where we draw the line whether it's
00:05:14
choosing gender or creating superhumans
00:05:17
remains unclear
