Abstract
One reproductive option that has long been unrealized is that of choosing the sex of one's child. This is not for lack of ideas; historically there having been many unproved methods, many fanciful and most now abandoned (Carson, 1988). Conceptions occurring two or three days after ovulation have a slightly increased likelihood of being male, but perhaps only in certain circumstances; at any rate, this observation has little practical value (Gray et al., 1998). Biological based methods have not previously succeeded. Now, Fugger et al. have reported that separation into X- or Y-bearing spermatozoa may be efficacious (Fugger et al., 1998).
