your question was why basing the decision to terminate on the gender was unethical. if the mother was evaluating if she should carry to term, the gender of the baby shouldn't have any influence on that decision as it makes no difference. a male or a female baby are identical in all elements save for their gonads.
you just painted with far too wide a brush there, md. You can't possibly tell what "makes no difference" to anyone other than yourself....and I don't think you have ovaries.
