Abstract
There is a strong argument in favour of sex selection, based on respect for procreative autonomy - the autonomy of couples to decide for themselves ho w to procreate, and what children to have. Objections based on possible har m to the child, the parents, or society, are not compelling, particularly i n Australia.
