@Tfmonkey TFM: If in the future a larger amount of men chose clone reproduction rather than marriage/family; would more men chose to have sons? [I would prefer sons] if that extrapolated to a larger part of the birthrate, then is there a way to prevent a scenario like China? Perhaps we would be required to have 2 girls before as many sons as you co
could afford? To keep population balanced?

@sardonicsmile if you have clone pods, you don't need to worry about keeping the population balanced. Women would be expendable as they are just smaller, weaker, and dumber men without the function of reproduction.

@Tfmonkey Oh... total. female. death.
Imagine the advancements; and quiet.

@sardonicsmile @Tfmonkey

It is possible to use sperm sorting with a centrifuge to influence probability of the biological gender of the person being born

Because the number of women influences the birth rate, if a society wanted to maximize birth rate then they could set up everyone to try to produce more daughters than sons if they did not intermix with other societies

Problem is warlike societies might just send their men to reproduce with women from other societies

@shortstories @Tfmonkey Is that possible? To determine the gender a zygote will be by preselecing the sperm?
I understand that it is the *egg* that determines which sperm is allowed to fertilize.
Even at the cellular level; it is the female that is the Selector. The male is only the "asker".

"The Ericsson method, first applied in a clinical setting in the 1970s by Dr. Ronald J. Ericsson, uses higher concentrations of sperm of the desired sex to increase the likelihood of conceiving that sex"
