This paper examines dominant arguments advocating for the procreative right to undergo sex selection for social reasons, based on gender preference. I present four of the most recognized and common justifications for sex selection: the argument from natural sex selection, the argument from procreative autonomy, the argument from family balancing, and the argument from children's well-being. Together these represent the various means by which scholars aim to defend access to sex selection for social reasons as a legitimate procreative choice. In response, I contend that these justifications are flawed and often inconsistent and therefore fail to vindicate the practice.
本文探讨了基于性别偏好主张出于社会原因进行性别选择生育权的主要论点。我提出了四个最广为人知且常见的性别选择理由：自然性别选择论点、生育自主权论点、家庭平衡论点以及儿童福祉论点。这些共同代表了学者们旨在捍卫出于社会原因进行性别选择作为一种合法生育选择的各种方式。作为回应，我认为这些理由存在缺陷且往往相互矛盾，因此无法为这种做法辩护。
