I also wanted to say - I am really tired of people talking about "judgement" and how wrong it is. Expressing an opinion is not judgement - judgement is deciding the worth of a person through his/her actions, something I've rarely seen done. No one said this woman isn't worth anything due to her actions - just that her actions seemed like a bad choice. Aren't these boards here so we can all respectfully post our opinions and learn from each other?
Also - when did we come to a point where we can't call a spade a spade? IMO - having fertility treatments and implanting embryos knowing you'd have a good chance of having multiples (5 healthy embryos) just to abort the gender you don't want is wrong. It does sound like the woman Storm mentioned went through a tough time after - but why wouldn't she? Now, this of course is all in the context of not personally knowing this woman - so the sympathy factor is low, which is sort of the danger of online communities. Of course, that is just my opinion and I am more than happy to listen to others' ideas on the subject. I may even change my mind - it's been known to happen!
