Early gender DNA test offered by Paragon Labs

Article: Early sex selection test raises ethical concerns  (CBC News, Canada)

No, it's not Acu-Gen's Early Gender Mentor.  Paragon Genetics, a DNA testing lab offering paternity, infidelity, and forensic testing, has begun offering what is now called "non-invasive" prenatal testing, by obtaining the baby's DNA through a sample of the mother's blood.  A gender determination test is also available.

The CBC article makes the usual unfounded assumption that anybody who got their hands on such a test would want to use it to abort girls.  For the 100th time -- please say it with me -- Westerners do not share the Asian aversion to daughters.  There is significant and growing evidence that in the US and Europe, parents who hope to choose their baby's gender are more often seeking a daughter.
