Abstract
Whenever there is a new technological tool that pries into the secrets of life the majority reacts with caution, if not negatively altogether. On 10 September 1998, the Italian press gave the news of the discovery of a method to predetermine the sex of a new baby with 90% accuracy (Fugger et al., 1998) in sensational terms: `A little boy or a little girl? Soon children by order!' (La Repubblica); `The new method (of sex preselection) is under accusation' (Il Corriere della Sera); `Science without limitations; alarm and polemics' (Il Messaggero).Keywords
