Examples include extremely premature births, where children suffer brain damage from bleeding and convulsions; and diseases where a child could only survive on life support for the rest of its life, such as severe cases of spina bifida and epidermosis bullosa, a rare blistering illness.

down into sex selection and the so on. It's not far fetched to
think it can happen. It already does happen in China and India.
