ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
For many people, having a large family isn’t a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available — from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy.
The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell disease, and Huntington's disease.

USER REVIEWS
"We were looking for something a bit more detailed on the Shettles Method and got more of an overview of the various sex-selection methods, most of which were clinical. While I laugh at myself for thinking that we can determine our babies gender with diet, cycle tracking, and various other methods, I also think it can't hurt. At the same time, we weren't at all interested in clinical methods because of the cost, time, and because more than anything, we want a healthy baby... it would just be nice to have at least one girl in the house other than me! So! If you're looking for something to help you understand the available methods of sex-selection, this book is great. However, if you're looking for something that will help you increase your chances of one gender over another, I'd try a different book."

"I thought it was a well written book. It started with the history of sex selection, making it interesting rather than boring, and jumped quickly into all the at home methods and finally ending with the high tech methods. But what I really liked was how she made it seem very personable by talking to families who had made a variety of decisions, so it wasn't just one person's account of science or personal history. It also wasn't all positive about one method or negative about another method. I think that the author really gave you the space to make a decision that worked for your family. I'm happy to say that the method we chose worked for us! I'll be using this book again in the future and recommending it to my friends."

"When my wife brought up the subject of sex selection I was really confused. I found a lot of ocnflicting information on the internet. Then our doctor recommended this book to us. It started with a history of sex selection and then talked about a lot of the low tech methods and why they weren't as effective. It described in detail the process of the high tech mthods and what their success rates were, including some that were perfect! I really appreciated that the book took the time to talk about finances. As a man, I needed to know how it was going to effect my wallet. The good news is that from what we learned, we've been successful with the techniques inside and are quite thrilled with our new baby!"

"Having no previous experience with sex selection techniques, I found this book to be very helpful. The language used was clear and vivid and allowed full explanations of the different methods of sex selection. After reading this book I feel confident that I have the knowledge to pick the technique that is right for us. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the sex selection options available."
