Sex selection is an advanced fertility option that allows couples to choose the gender of their baby through assisted reproductive techniques. While natural conception does not provide gender control, technologies such as Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) make it possible to determine the gender of embryos before they are implanted during IVF treatment.
In Malaysia, the use of sex selection procedures is strictly regulated and typically only allowed for medical reasons, such as preventing gender-linked genetic disorders. For non-medical gender selection, regulations in Malaysia are restrictive, and couples are advised to consult fertility specialists to understand the legal framework and ethical aspects of sex selection in Malaysia.
