Human Birthrate Regulation Model The Baby's Sex Planning Method Included

Report

Ladies and Gentlemen, Colleagues

Sexological aspects of the reproductive behavior of human beings are an issue that is indeed current and relevant in our society. Researches open the possibility of choosing the sex of a baby before conception √ and this will, I believe, open up new perspectives in Science, Sexological consulting and social practice.

Thanks go to members of the Scientific Committee and directorship, also to my colleagues and friends who have helped me. I am deeply grateful to my clients in that they have decided to try their fate, and we have, together, been negotiating an unknown path.
We must not discount the fact that, in the future, man will finally have the opportunity to influence the population count √ in terms of it▓s rise and fall √ but not having to resort to any form of coercion or violence, instead making a decision as a result of free discussion, and observing the reproductive and sexual rights of men and women.

One ought to underline the fact that certain ethical principles limit the doctor▓s role in questions concerning a child▓s gender. For example, in accordance with the Madrid Declaration of 1996, a psychiatrist should never participate in the decision to terminate a pregnancy if the baby▓s gender is not that which the mother is hoping for.

We should, however, also remember that Ethics are constantly striving to achieve a balance between the interests of the individual and society on the basis of health and life values, and of safety and well-being.

Today, our subject for consideration is a form of reproductive technology, the fundamental distinguishing feature of which is that it▓s not carried out by using any equipment, but by the couple themselves.

Following the development of certain ideas, people may then be inclined to ⌠control■ the sex of the foetus in order to decide as to whether or not to continue with, or terminate, the pregnancy. This gives reason for justified misgivings, and therefore demands discussion and ethical regulating.

We offer to have in view of the differences in the ethical regulating of reproductive technology, depending on the age and reproductive status of a couple.

So; on the one hand we have this differences. On the other hand, we propose the importance of taking into consideration the interests of Society, and dispelling the anxiety, and even the worry, that specialists express in relation to the fact that in certain regions the population count is steadily dropping and in others √ significantly rising.

It is significant that the majority of young and middle-aged people prefer a family in which there are 2 children of opposite sex, and this includes doctors and nurses, young women, Italian students, naturists, clients, those attending seminars, and so on.

If we presume that all without exception are going to plan the sex of their child, it is evident that distortion will not occur in the gender ratio.

The issue of regulating the gender ratio in the population can be explored in the different contexts. And, on the plane of social relations between men and women, at rights, on demography, also from the stance of the reproductive rights of man.
However, this debate seems ephemeral, farfetched up to that time when we finally reveal the biological sense of this phenomenon √ is the predetermination of sex prior to conception really essential to Nature? If the answer is ⌠Yes■, then how exactly is it possible to control the birthrate within the population?

It has been established that sexual behavior and the ratio between the sexes are conditioned by each other. Their relationships reflects a negative feed-back connection between the tertiary and secondary sex ratio, through a sexual intercourse intensity.
Tension in feelings, intimate life styles and sexual relations significantly differs between different people during their lives. However, regardless of how wide the spectrum of these evaluations may be, in general, heterosexual life can be reflected in just three categories.

As Johann Bloch pointed out, these are: free√love, sex life within marriage, and prostitution, all of which may metamorphose one into the other.
The first category is characterized by freedom as an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction derived from one▓s sexuality, when personal feelings and biology are together realized. Free love is the highest level of the individual sexual relations of man and woman. This form of sexual life often precedes marriage.
Marriage reflects sexual relations that are regulated by Society, Religion and the State, with the added attraction of economic factors.
Prostitution affords an opportunity to temporarily step over social and individual boundaries put down by instinct and also to derive benefit from the exploitation of one▓s sexuality.
It stands to reason that the intensity of the sexual lifestyle of those who are dedicated to each of these three categories is essentially distinguishable.

Free love gives rise to a merging of intense feelings, residing together mutually, and is accompanied by differing erotic behavior of the pair. The pair will usually maintain intense rhythm of their sex life, regardless of any obstacles.
The rhythm of sexual life within marriage changes with time. The rhythm in the first few years of marriage is usually regular and intensive and then it's intensity gradually decreases.
Women, having elected the option of selling themselves in order to earn a living, must maintain a high frequency of sexual rhythm. The intensity of a man▓s √ their client▓s sex life is significantly lower.

Now we introduce the three categories of sexual life within the scheme of feed-back connection in order to demonstrate the intensity of sexual lifestyle in social groups being defined by the number of married couples, and by the number of couples who are in a ⌠free love■ marriage, also by the level of prostitution.
This impression also confirms the ⌠war phenomenon■ that is well-known in Demography. This tends to end with a change in the secondary gender ratio following serious social disruptions. Following such a ⌠war■, more boys are born and for a period of this time, the level of prostitution rises and more marriages break up.

Incidentally, in Russia, according to a micro inventory of the population conducted in 1985, a significant displacement was noted in the secondary gender ratio √ showing male dominance in the background of a decrease in the general population count.
Generally speaking, it does seem entirely possible that a certain general biological law acts upon a population.

In Cytogenetics there is a well-known process that alters the distribution of genes throughout the population. This process takes course during meiosis and is a result of crossing-over. During crossing-over, an exchange of chromosome particles occurs. Genetic factors are distributed in ratios differing from those which establish Mendel▓s Law.
Crossing-over continues into those phases of meiosis when cell-division is complete. This occurs when spermatocyte 1 turns into spermatocyte 2. These are the target cells for testosterone. The action of androgen on a cell involves the induction of processes in the nucleus. Crossing-over can be a process dependent on testosterone. Leidig▓s cells, which produce this hormone, have direct functionary links with spermatogenetic epithelia. The level of testosterone depends on the intensity of sexual activity.

The couple planned a boy. Rhythm of sexual activity was changed from 3 intercourses per week to 1 daily. Blood samples were tested monthly, from 10 to 11 a.m.

The equal likelihood of either sex being born was overthrown in 1958. In the 1970s it was established that during the advancement of spermatozoons through the cervical mucus a complex immunological phenomenon takes place. This process is known as ⌠prezygotic selection■. It has been defined as a microevolutionary process.
The problem is that it is difficult to explain how microevolutionary process √ gamete transportation - can be linked to processes involved in population.
This becomes possible if we bear in mind that X- and Y- sperms possess various immunological and functional characteristics, and if we take into consideration the sexual demormism of gametogenessis in mammals and estimate the differences in the populatory-genetic functions of males and females.

The sexual demormism of gametogenesis can be concluded in that in adult male sex glands, there is a continually-flowing process of new cell formation. In females the induction of the development of one cell occurs from the formation of a pool in just one day.

Populatoty-genetic functions of each sex are determined in such a way so as the female sex is deemed the ⌠constant memory■ of the species, whereas the male is ⌠operative one■. This means that the male sex (more precisely, dynamic process of new cell formation in the testicles) perceives environmental changes and the female sex secures such interpretations in the following generation. During social unrest, the population▓s adaptation to new conditions takes it▓s course accordingly and yet more changes in the gender ratio occur.
As a short resume, the idea is the following.
The crossing over is modelled correspondingly in the nucleus of target testosterone cells - spermatocytes 1 and 2. At this moment X or Y chromosome gets varying functional properties. These properties will be realized after ejaculation, during the movement of sperms towards the egg. Then preferred fertilization will occur, and populatory-genetic functions of the sexes will be satisfied. The individual will project their "contribution" into the adaptation of the population and development of a human, although there is still insufficient information to picture this in entirety.
Unfortunately, there are bit of scientific data to understand how sexuality as a super-biological concept, exploits this complex biological mechanism.

In practice the intensity of a man▓s sexual lifestyle can be reflected in terms of sexual constitution. The rhythm can be evaluated as a ⌠relative abstention■ or ⌠ heightened activity■. This evaluation is the result of the relationship of numerous meanings of the fenotypical vector of sexual constitution, and the genotypical. The genotypical index (Kg) establishes it▓s biological basis on an individual▓s sexuality.

The fenotypical index of sexual constitution complexly reflects the influence of socio-personal factor on sexuality. In order to calculate this index, it is essential to make precise the rhythm of ejaculations and repetition of intercourse within a 24-hour period. Sometimes this index cannot be calculated.

The investigation is fulfilled in accordance with the ethics involved in conducting research with people. Consultations with couples have taken place upon receipt of voluntary agreement to participate in family planning. Each was informed of the method's safety and also of the risks of failure. The results were displayed by telephone interviews.
Investigations into clients concluded with drawing up family trees, determining reproductive purposes and researching sexological status; evaluating fertility and determining the sexual constitution of a man.
In social groups with a low level of reproduction, the planning of a baby▓s gender liberates the reproductive behaviour of a couple and makes for an increase in births. Also, it has a regulating effect on the secondary gender ratio, bringing about changes that push it▓s significance closer to the species▓ norm.

System
Initial stimuli: influence of religion, economic factors and the possibility of planning a baby▓s gender prior to conception.

Central integration: distribution of information concerning gender planning, discussions, opinion polls, recommendations for couples. The pair▓s decision to plan a second child.
Interim results: alterations to the couple▓s sexual activity. Modulation of the hormonal activity of sex glands and ⌠meiotic drift■. Preferred fertilisation and conception of a boy or girl.
Result: correction of the gender ratio in social group, increase in the birth-rate.

Feedback connections: changes in platonic, erotic, and sexual relations between a man and a woman, changes in the roles of each sex in social groups, and in taking an active role in the reproduction of the population, ⌠freeing-up■ of the recreational and procreational functions of sexuality from the direct influences of religion, myths, dogma and politics.
Satisfaction of true reproductive motives to have 2 children of each sex limits the birth-rate in a couple and in social groups.
Information regarding gender planning has been publicized in newspapers and magazines, and also in television interviews. It was underlined that a couple could independently plan a baby▓s gender and it was explained how this is done. It was also proposed that optimum expectations should be voiced during the process, until that point when conception occurs. Following conception, it was recommended that the couple then ■wait for the baby■, to trust that all scientific possibilities were emploed without resorting to an attempted alteration of the foetus▓ gender, as this would already be impossible. The couple should place their hopes in each other, Nature, God▓s Will, and reconcile themselves to the fact that the baby could be either a girl or a boy, as other factors could well influence the final result.

Specialists have recorded that during the past few years in Moscow, the birth-rate has gone up. Soon a census will be carried out and the exact rate calculated. Of course, many factors influence this complex process, including our own contribution.

In order that a couple may use the opportunity to satisfy their reproductive aims, it is essential to create a specially-designed educational programme to facilitate this. At the same time, in Society institutes should be founded for the restriction of attempts at exploiting this √ essentially √ bio-social sexological process for other, non-reproductive aims.
