      So you can take an embryo that is in a uterus and change that embryos sex?

      I feel like that’s what they are talking about, not picking out of a cluster of them.

      I’m genuinely interested

        There has been gender selection for ivf for over a decade now. The sperm can be separated by X or Y and only one can be used to fertilize the eggs.
