Gender selection is performed as part of an IVF cycle using preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). Embryos are biopsied at the blastocyst stage (day 5-7) and screened for chromosomal abnormalities and sex chromosomes before transfer.
Legal status varies significantly: Gender selection for family balancing is allowed in Thailand. Singapore permits it only for medical reasons (sex-linked genetic disorders). Australia prohibits it across all states for non-medical reasons.
