It is quite likely that parents will soon be able to use genetic engineering to select the sex of their child by directly manipulating the sex of an embryo. Some might think that this method would be a more ethical method of sex selection than present technologies such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) because, unlike PGD, it does not need to create and destroy "wrong gendered" embryos. This paper argues that those who object to present technologies on the grounds that the embryo is a person are unlikely to be persuaded by this proposal, though for different reasons.
父母很快就很有可能能够通过直接操控胚胎的性别，利用基因工程来选择孩子的性别。有些人可能认为，与诸如植入前基因诊断（PGD）等现有技术相比，这种方法将是一种更符合伦理的性别选择方法，因为与PGD不同，它不需要创造和销毁“性别错误”的胚胎。本文认为，那些以胚胎是人为由反对现有技术的人不太可能被这一提议所说服，尽管原因不同。
