Home Pregnancy Test Tells Baby's Gender

According to CNN, a new product available to American consumers informs users whether the baby they'll be having is a boy or a girl. The product is "99% informative", according to the package label. More information is available at http://www.pregnancystore.com.

Comment: If used only for informational purposes, nothing appears inherently wrong about such a product. If used to select for either boys or girls, some may question whether potential parents have the right to choose. In some sense, it falls to ethicists to make that decision.
