Canada's largest news magazine questions Baby Gender Mentor accuracy
Concerns about the accuracy of Baby Gender Mentor, a test claiming to reveal an unborn baby's gender with virtually perfect accuracy just 5 weeks into pregnancy, are raised in this week's issue of Canada's Macleans weekly news magazine.
The test's accuracy has been called into question since NBC's popular morning show introduced it to millions. Acu-Gen says the success rate is based on more than 20,000 test cases, but so far the company has not substantiated its claims by publishing its result for peer review. And recently, pregnancy websites that host discussion forums have been filled with postings from angry and desperate moms-to-be who've received one result from Acu-Gen and an opposite result from their doctor.
