   You know, when the fetus is in utero, can you do something to make sure it's a boy or girl?

   Scary thought, but, if you're the one carrying the fetus, at least, you can get a genetic test done somewhere within the second trimester I believe that will indicate the baby's sex, and then you can decide to abort it there, then just get back to the drawing board sex and try again.
   
   I really want to stress that this is NOT A LIFE PRO TIP. This is some psychopathic-level shit. DO NOT DO.
   
   But really, no, at this current time, there's almost certainly no way to accomplish such a task, and, quite honestly, I find that comforting.

   They call it "ultrasound and in-vitro fertilization or IVF."
