The purpose of this article is to ascertain and appraise the ethical issues inherent to the utilisation of preimplantation genetic diagnosis for gender selection in infertile patients anticipating undergoing a medically indicated assisted reproductive technique procedure. Performance of preimplantation genetic diagnosis per request specifically for gender selection by an infertile couple undergoing medically indicated assisted reproductive technique may not breach the principles of ethics, and is unlikely to alter the population balance of sexes.
本文旨在确定并评估对于预期接受医学指征辅助生殖技术程序的不孕患者，利用植入前基因诊断进行性别选择所固有的伦理问题。应要求专门为接受医学指征辅助生殖技术的不孕夫妇进行性别选择的植入前基因诊断操作可能并不违反伦理原则，而且不太可能改变人口的性别平衡。
