Choose The Sex Of Your Baby?

boy or girl?
(CBS) Want to design the perfect baby? It's not as farfetched as you may think.
As Correspondent Vicki Mabrey reported last spring, a new technology is helping couples manipulate Mother Nature in their favor. It’s an embryo screening procedure invented for the purpose of identifying embryos that carry serious, often fatal, genetic diseases.
But these days, it's being used for something very different – to help couples choose the sex of their child. And for the man who pioneered the procedure, the new direction the technology is taking is disturbing. For some people, like Sharla and Shane Miller, selecting the sex of a baby is a dream come true.
“In the back of my mind, I still had the wanting for a daughter. With every child, I wanted a daughter,” says Sharla. “Every time, I was hoping this is my girl.”
