Genetic selection and terminations

There is widespread evidence of pregnancy terminations arising from prenatal testing, as well as prenatal hormone treatment to prevent intersex traits. However, the AISSGA asserts health impacts of many intersex variations are minimal, lifespan is close to normal and many people with intersex traits enjoy full and happy lives. Prenatal deselection of intersex embryos should only occur when there is a full Quality of Life review done for that variation.
