Would you use genetic engineering to allow you to choose the sex of your baby?

No I would not because you are messing with nature.Why should you take such a beautiful meaning of love and a miracle away from itself. Your baby wont be a miracle if you choose the sex. The surprise and the gift of what you see when after giving birth is part of the experience of it all. I didnt want to know what the sex was, I made the nursery in a beautiful mint green and white, Beatrix Potter, Peter rabbit and waited happily for the doctor to tell me Mrs. & Mr. __ you have a beautiful baby boy. That feeling right their was so rewarding and exciting that I wouldnt change it for the world. Dont take the surpise and joy out of what should be a happy moment , is everything in your life going to be engineered, If so I feel bad for you for not getting to enjoy the spontenaity of life.

NOTE:

I posted this question as i was curious about peoples views on this particular subject, i am not considering doing it myself. I too would prefer a surprise but there are couples, one of which i know of, that have a trend on both sides of their families for having baby girls. If a couple has 4 children, all of which are girls, is it wrong for them to use advanced methods today to get a baby boy? Or should they miss out on that?
