Baby Gender Mentor now for sale in Europe
Scotland's colorful newspaper The Sunday Mail reports that Acu-Gen is now "targeting Scotland" with sales of Baby Gender Mentor, an at-home fetal sex test kit.
Previously, numerous news articles about Baby Gender Mentor raised concerns about the test being used for sex selective abortions in countries with a strong preference for boys, such as India and China. At that time, the president of the test's exclusive online retailer, PregnancyStore.com, stated that the kit is available only in the United States.
This firm could be making claims they cannot substantiate, luring people into thinking they have information on which they can act. For some mums and dads, that might only go as far as painting the nursery pink but others may terminate a pregnancy because they believe they are not getting what they want. That's enough of an ethical minefield but what if they were to abort a child they did want?

An second article features the story of a woman who says her Baby Gender Mentor result is incorrect. Pamela Gold and her husband were told by Acu-Gen that their baby, due in February, is a son. An ultrasound, however, showed a girl, and an amniocentesis later confirmed that the baby is a girl. "I'm in touch with many women who are unhappy with the service this company provides," said Pamela.
