Sex selection is the termination of a pregnancy based on the sex of the fetus. Lately, this issue is becoming of increasing concern in China, India, Pakistan, and in Albania. This paper reviewes the latest literature concerning sex-selection and the databases of major organizations dealing with female fetus abortion. Social literature is used to analyze theoretical perspective in terms of the women’s perceptions after experiencing sex-selection. From the findings resulted that a woman can experience a range of often contradictory emotions after having a sex-selective abortion.
