Abstract
Following ethical issues, many of unwanted pregnancies and abortions can be avoided. Several factors such as cultural, social, religious, and economic issues, as well as medical reasons such as the existence of some diseases related to chromosome X encourage couples to choose traditional or new treatment methods for selecting their child’s gender. The establishment of family balance is another reason for selecting the gender of the child.
