INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While medical procedures are the most foolproof method for having a girl, they are also the most expensive. They can cost anywhere from several hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Sometimes these procedures are not available in every country, leading to additional travel costs as well. Set a budget in order to plan how you might pay for the procedure. While side effects from these procedures tend to be mild, these techniques are relatively new and involve a certain amount of risk. Talk to a trusted doctor to decide what risks you are comfortable taking on. It is possible to sort sperm into Y-chromosomal and X-chromosomal sperm using a technique known as cytometric sorting, after which an egg is fertilized with the desired sperm using artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. Because X chromosomes are slightly larger than Y chromosomes, sperm that lead to girls are able to absorb more fluorescent dye than sperm that lead to boys. The sperm can then be separated, and the desired sex of a baby can be chosen. Sperm sorting is highly effective, though it is not 100% effective. It can, however, be costly and might not be available for all prospective parents. Many reproductive clinics offer to sort sperm by their speed of movement. Because sperm carrying female genetic material tend to be heavier (and therefore slower), this sorting can make a specific sex much more likely, though not guaranteed. This procedure can be done on embryos created using in vitro fertilization. It allows doctors to identify embryos of a certain sex, thus providing sex selection prior to embryonic implantation. In addition to identifying (and potentially selecting) embryos of a certain sex, chromosomal disorders and conditions can be identified using PGD. Though highly effective, the procedure is costly and invasive, and it raises ethical dilemmas about the appropriateness of sex selection of embryos. In fact, sex screening is banned in some places. Certain countries, like Britain, make exceptions only when there is a medical necessity to screen for sex, such as sex-specific genetic diseases. Other doctors similarly support post-fertilization sex selection in cases of medical necessity, but reject post-fertilization sex selection practices because of personal preference. The procedure works by identifying the sex of an embryo while it is still in the lab before it is placed in the womb, and claims 100% accuracy.

SUMMARY: Determine what you are willing to spend on sex selection. Discuss options with your doctor very carefully. Pursue sperm sorting techniques with a clinic. Look into the "swim up" method of artificial insemination. Pursue preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An unconscious person cannot consent to sex. This also applies to sex you can't remember, either because you were blacked out or because you were unconscious. Just because you didn't have to "experience" it in the traditional sense, doesn't mean you weren't raped. Of course, before accusing someone of raping you in this way, you should look really hard at your own choices. Don't use a serious matter as a cop-out for decision you know you made just because you regret it. When someone is drunk, they do not have the ability to consent. They are too unaware of what is going on to really understand what they are doing or agreeing to. Some people may also have been made too affectionate by the alcohol, just like how people on ecstasy will think they love everyone. Men can also be raped by women. In fact, as we discussed above, it might even be just as common in some places as women getting raped. If you are a male, and you were forced into having sex with a woman against your will, you were raped and you are entitled to protection under the law. Just because you are not penetrated in the normal sense does not mean that you weren't raped. Any unwanted sexual contact is assault and you should report your rape. Even if there is no weapon present, rape is still rape. The authorities should understand this. The abuser may use many different kinds of fear tactics to keep a victim from putting up a big fight. Many victims don't put up a fight when they are raped, out of fear of physical harm, blackmail, or other consequences. Just because you didn't fight, doesn't mean you weren't raped. All that matters is that you said "no". The authorities will understand your concerns for your safety. Even if two people are married, it doesn't mean that a wife has to have sex with her husband. This is accepted as law in most countries in the world. If your spouse forced you to have sex, you are entitled to prosecute if you want to. Even if you previously had consensual sex or even had consensual sex recently, that does not make all sex consensual between you. You are still protected by law and are entitled to help. All that matters is that you said "no". We tend to excuse female teacher-male student sex, or sex between a male teacher and a female student that the student encouraged. However, there are lots of reasons why this isn't as consensual as it may appear, the most important of which is that children cannot consent (even if they're teenagers). The young brain is not developed enough to comprehend consequences. Even for older teacher-student relationships, it is important to understand that a professor can abuse their position of authority, using it to intimidate a student into sex. At the end of the day, rape is just any sex that you don't want. People need to understand that no means no. Beyond that, people also need to understand that getting a conscious "yes" is really what they need to be looking for, not just the absence of a no. For the safety of members of all genders, we should all work together to prioritize consent, so that rape becomes as uncommon as possible among all walks of life.
