OH NO. Please, God, do not grant Egyptians power over their genetics: Meanwhile, population control could turn us into Children of Men if this “gender selection” trend continues to flourish. Ahram Online is running a feature on the popularity of Egyptian couples using biotech to select the gender of their embryos. And because it is us, more times than plenty, the selection is usually male. If this piece of technology is not stripped from us soon, expect a dystopia in the near future where 93 mn men fight and kill each other in savage ways for the last five women left in Egypt. You’ve been warned.
