Boy or Girl? Home DNA Test For Baby’s Gender

The Early Baby Gender Mentor
Home DNA Test Kit

Unlike my parents’ generation who didn’t know their baby’s gender until he or she was born, this generation has the benefit of finding out via a variety of ways before D-day - ultrasound around week 16 of a pregnancy or amniocentesis at three or four months. The Baby Gender Mentor home test kit manufactured by Mommy’s Thinkin’ is looking to make it even easier for expecting parents to find out if their baby will be a boy or girl. (The Boston Globe, June 27, 2005)

For $275, pregnant women can find out the gender of their baby as early as five weeks post-conception by sending the lab a sample of their blood from a tiny finger prick. Because DNA from the fetus typically circulates in the mother’s blood, the laboratory detects if there is any DNA from the Y chromosome in the mother’s sample. If there is, then the fetus is a boy and if not, the fetus is a girl. Test results are available within two to three days.

    Why most of the peple are interested form Asia? Ever Wondered?
    Is it legal, is it safe to let them know after the consiquences of the daily killings of the baby girls in these asian countries.
    If so, how do you prove its going to be safe letting them know.
    Sanity or Insanity ?

    I know that the “Tell Me Pink OR BLUE” test will NOT be shipped to India or China due to the stigma of female children. I’m assuming this test is the same?
