One of these clinics is North Cyprus IVF, the only clinic in Cyprus that has its own genetics department. Couples from Europe and Middle East come here to accomplish their dream of having a child of a certain sex.
"We are the first IVF Clinic to be opened in Northern Cyprus, a pioneer in fertility treatments and procedures on the island and also the first ISO 9000 qualified clinic in the region. With more than 15 years of experience in the field of fertility treatments, we are helping couples from all over the world take advantage of this revolutionary procedure and choose by themselves the sex of their future child," says Ahmet Ozyigit, PhD, Deputy Director and IVF Coordinator of North Cyprus IVF.
Another destination for couples, especially from Australia, was Thailand. Recent ban of the surrogacy procedure and PGD and unclear terms regarding gender selection have put patients in a limbo, now heading towards Malaysia for these procedures.
Another destination for gender selection is South America in countries like Panama, Colombia, Argentina. Dr. Demian Glujovsky is a renowned endocrinologist and obstetrician and gynecologist, part of the medical team at the Center of Studies in Gynecology and Reproduction in Argentina.
"The fact that PGD is legal in Argentina, attracts numerous patients from all over the world, especially the US and Canada. If technology and years of research have helped us develop such innovative methods of helping couples accomplish their dream, why not take advantage of them? Future parents have the right to choose the sex of their child, and we support them in this decision," says Dr. Demian Glujovsky, Egg Donor Coordinator at CEGYR.
