Gender Selection in United Kingdom

Gender Selection, also known as sex selection, is the selection of an offspring's sex before implantation of the embryo into the womb via pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). PGD is closely regulated by the HFEA and is permitted for medical reasons only. Nine UK clinics are licensed by the HFEA to offer PGD where there is a risk of a serious inherited genetic disease, including sex-linked diseases that affect only males.

When gender selection is used to inhibit genetic diseases (muscular dystrophy, hemophilia), the process is called "medical gender selection." The most recurrent use of gender selection is "family balancing," when one gender is already embodied in the family and a specific gender is desired.

Couples in the UK who want to select the gender of a desired child can utilize the consultation services of the UK Cypriot Fertility Association. This program entails undergoing preparatory treatment at a fertility clinic in the UK for gender selection IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), before traveling to Northern Cyprus to complete the treatment. Gender selection is illegal in the UK which is why a simple consultation can be offered.

There are two techniques that consistently affect gender selection: In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with PGD, and an experimental sperm-sorting technique called Microsort. PGD gender selection is the most reliable technique for gender selection, imminent of 100% accuracy.

The advantage of undergoing gender selection, or “family balancing” with the UK Cypriot Fertility Association is patients remain under the careful direction of UK Cypriot Fertility Association medical coordinators from beginning to end. Both the preparatory treatment at home in the UK and the gender selection in Northern Cyprus will be planned, monitored and carefully administered under the direction of the UK Cypriot Fertility Association. Having treatment in both locations directed by one organization helps to eliminate the possibility of details getting lost in communication between separate clinics, and allows patients to deal with the same medical coordinator throughout the process.
