THE BABY'S GENDER PLANNING AS A NEW APPROACH TO FAMILY INNER POLICY

Abstract

The human reproductive behavior is an object of research by experts of various disciplines, however until now it has not been submitted convincing explanations of birth reduction phenomenon. Spouses limit birthrate because they have one child in family in spite of the fact of constant increase of life level.
Demographic researches testify that the modern pair is limited to one child in family, but sociological investigations shows that men and women express the desire to have two and even three children.
We could not explain this contradiction up to time, when the question was not offered to respondents: which children▓s sex ratio they prefer in their family. It was done and we found that more than 50 % of respondents prefer two children of an opposite sex.

It means that in case of the son or the daughter will be born from the next pregnancy beforehand and definitely, the spouses agree to the second child. Hence, uncertainty of the future baby sex is the factor braking the decision-making of conception. The spouses do not want to test destiny.

This theme was carefully investigated, the prezygotic sex determination theory has been elaborated, and the method for the baby's gender planning was created. Theoretical and practical aspects have been submitted to scientific community.

In this connection, we offer to create the conditions for implementation of human reproductive rights and to execute a complex of actions under the covering of special professional ethics. As result, the baby's sex planning will take the certain place in sexual culture and will lead to increasing of birth rate.
