Advances in genetic technology have led to the ability of scientists to make it more likely for a couple to have a baby of one s
ex or another. In the future it might even be possible for a family to choose the sex of their baby before conception. What is a potential benefit of allowing a couple to decide the sex of future offspring? A. The sex ratios within the human population could become dramatically skewed, resulting in discrimination. B. Individuals could decide the hair color, athletic ability, and eye color of their future offspring before conception. C. Parents could be sure that future offspring did not have any type of genetic disorder before conception. D. Individuals that are carriers for sex-linked genetic disorders could reduce the chance of their offspring having the disease.
