Yes you can choose gender with todays technology but it will have to be via IVF method.
This info is applicable for Thompson Hospital, Kota Damansara.
Cost wise IVF procedure is around RM15,000. Choosing the gender is an extra RM10,000.
Success rate for IVF is around 70%. Choosing gender will be 100% success rate. By choosing gender, doctor can also make sure the future baby will have no genetic disease inherited.
Regarding side effec4, I don't think there is any.
Take note the cost rate I stated above is from 2007. They might be the same now or might increase. And Thompson Hospital had been awarded best fertility hospital in the world before.
other hospital rate might be different.
