I have a tough question since nobody else has the balls to ask it. I welcome the downvotes in advance.

You said in your last AMA that using IVF you had 2 female eggs who were carriers of ZSD and 2 males eggs that weren't carriers to choose from. So you chose to have a girl who is a carrier rather than a boy who is completely healthy. I'm assuming if your daughter ever wants to have kids she's going to have to do some extra testing and maybe even IVF herself.

1. Are there any other problems she is going to run into?
2. How did you balance the cost and burden of selfishly choosing an "unhealthy" girl over a completely healthy boy?

Now for a more lighthearted question:

I didn't know it was so easy (yet expensive) to choose your child's gender. I really only want to have 2 kids maximum but I'd really like 1 girl and 1 boy. To me, it makes a lot of sense financially to use IVF to pick my second child's gender. Since if I have 2 boys or 2 girls first, I might be persuaded to have a third child to have at least one child of each gender. $15000 for IVF is a hell of a lot cheaper than a third kid in the long run. 50/50 odds. Either spend $15k to guarantee it or potentially $500k+ for a third/fourth kid until I get lucky.

1. Are you going to tell your daughter you picked her gender?
2. Will you pick a boy next?

evidence, constitutional criminal procedure, any classes on criminal justice reform, and definitely trial practice.
