I'm Currently Feeling:  | Home Testing Kit!
Just heard on the news about the new home testing kit that can detect the sex of the baby 6 weeks into pregnancy!
I kind of disagree as I think a lot of people will abort un wanted sexes. Sorry I might sound harsh, but it's what I think.
Don't agree with detecting that young
What do you all think?  |

| I fully agree, its the reason why a lot of hospitals dont offer sexing scans for the fact that in some religions and races they try to abort unwanted sexes. Just look at what happens in China, where they are limited on the number children they can have due to population increase, so baby girls let left to die at the sides of roads, cause familys want boys to carry on the family name. | | | | Status: Offline

| Its awful and a stupid idea.
It will start happening soon where you put an order in for what sex you want, somewhere in america will come up with a way to grow the sex you want  |
