I was actually referring to the "rather not breed" part, and alluding to voluntary human extinction. I happen to agree that gene therapy should be implemented where possible to elimination those hereditary diseases deemed severe enough to do so. But that is a slippery slope- how do we define what is a bad gene? If you don't begin with a watertight policy, we will find that we are breeding ourselves in ways we shouldn't.
As for gender, I have no preference- even if the option to choose became available, I'd decline. However, I'd be more comfortable with a boy, given that that is the only gender I know how to deal with- in any circumstance.
