| Summary: | Sex selection, which refers to any fertility technology or technique that attempts to control the gender of a child, has changed the traditional landscape in human reproduction. The questions associated with this choice have made it a topic for heated debate among ethicists.

This entry therefore attempts to examine the Islamic juridico-ethical position on sex selection technology. |
