Summary
Berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 61 tahun 2014 tentang Kesehatan Reproduksi, Indonesia memperbolehkan pemilihan jenis kelamin pada anak kedua dan selanjutnya tanpa membedakan permasalahan medis dan non medis. Hal tersebut perlu ditilik kembali terutama pemilihan jenis kelamin karena alasan non medis. Perbandingan regulasi dengan negara lain diperlukan mengingat pemilihan jenis kelamin karena alasan non medis dilarang di sebagian besar negara di dunia. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perbandingan hukum pemilihan jenis kelamin antara Indonesia dengan Inggris. Sex Selection :Choice and responsibility in human reproduction.
