It is likely that we will soon be able to determine the sex of our children. Provide a pro and con argument regarding this practice


A pro argument could be made on the basis of self-determination. Gaining control of one's life plan has high utility. On the other hand, as we have seen in certain societies where boys are valued over girls, this information has led to many girls being aborted with the future potential of having an imbalanced society. Regardless of society, this seems to trivialize human life to an unacceptable level, which can be argued from both a consequence and duty orientation.
