Kim Kardashian and Kanye West appear to have it all and their latest stint proves just that.
It’s no secret—if you “Keep up With the Kardashians” — that Kim has been trying for months to have a second baby.
But the latest news to come out is that she and her hubby Kanye have also been desperately wanting a boy to be their second child and have gone through extreme measures to ensure that their wish is granted.
Sources claim that Kim and Kanye allegedly engaged in the controversial practice of gender selection and only implanted male embryos inside of Kim Kardashian while she underwent IVF to become pregnant.
Talk about extreme measures!
The Wests’ desperate measures to have a son allegedly stem from Kanye’s desire to have a male heir to his throne.
The process of gender selection is described as an invasive and controversial procedure in which doctors take several cells out of an embryo and do a DNA analysis of all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
People who go through this procedure may do it for vanity reasons like Kim and Kanye or for health reasons. For example, if a mother has a carrier gene for ovarian cancer, she might opt to go through gender selection and have a boy so that her child is not at risk for ovarian cancer.
But despite some of the benefits of gender selection, many people find the procedure to be morally wrong and against religious beliefs.
Some have even made the claim that people who go through gender selection are playing God and “butting in” God’s work and natural creation.
Though we congratulate Kim and Kanye on their second child and wish Kim a healthy and safe pregnancy, it does seem overly vain to go through such lengths just to have a boy.
Let nature take its course and be happy with that! After all, what’s meant to be will be.
