There are many families in Australia who have two or three and even more children of the same gender and wish to balance their family with a child of the opposite sex. There is no doubt that all of our children are deeply loved however there is also a need for the ability to balance the gender ratios of our families, to obtain this ability is a cause which we all need to unite for. The Australian Health Ethics Committee is planning to review the Sex Selection ban in 2009, it is now our time to vocalise our need for family balancing. It is important that I highlight that this petition is specifically directed at Sex selection (family balancing), not "designer babies". Please take a moment to type your name, email address and hit submit. Your callaborated support will assist in telling the Australian Health Ethics Committee that we demand choice. All Australian families deserve the choice to acheive their family balancing dream.

I am currently preparing a formal submission for the Australian Health Ethics Committee review. My focus is ensuring our position on family balancing is clearly distinguished from other ethical concerns in the final documentation.

The growth of this petition has reached a level that warrants formal engagement with the Australian Health Ethics Committee. I am currently finalizing a briefing document to present the case for family balancing as a matter of reproductive choice. Expect an update once the committee confirms a time for our initial hearing.

Hi, I'm signing this petition on the basis of family balancing. I oppose gender selection for the first or second baby, but should be legal after the second for balancing the family.

I will be utilizing this service down the track but would prefer to do it here in Australia than to have to travel overseas.

I will be travelling to America for gender selection if it does not get legalised in Australia.
