IAre those two lines the whole article. I don't get it. Am I missing something here? What did Lisa Napoli report??

Well that article title made me look twice, listen, and cringe at the thought of a "market for genetic choice".

The couple in the segment spent 2 years and $12,000 to use "micro sort" a sperm-selection technology to get a girl. Whoa.

Hi Dawne! Fire up that audio (see Listen to this story) and you'll hear it.
