Local couple getting national attention for gender selection
Shane and Sharla Miller of Gillette were featured in an interview by Matt Lauer on the Today Show Monday and also take the lead in the cover story of the Jan. 26 edition of Newsweek Magazine entitled "Brave New Babies."
The story, written by Claudia Kalb, can be read at the MSNBC News Web site. It covers the issue of gender selection and features interviews with a number of families and doctors with different opinions on the subject.
It begins by telling about Sharla Miller, who already had three boys but also wanted a girl.
The Millers used the Internet to find a fertility institute in Los Angeles that uses an in vitro fertilization technique called preimplantation diagnosis to determine an embryo's gender.
After producing 14 healthy embryos, seven male and seven female, doctors successfully implanted two females into Sharla Miller's uterus in November, according to Newsweek.
The total cost of the procedure was $18,480 plus travel.
Sharla Miller is expecting to have the girls in July.
