Curly Posted April 23, 2008 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/04/23/scibaby123.xml&posted=true&_reques tid=369660 I heard this on BBC breakfast this morning and it annoyed me to think that someone funded this research when there so many worthy projects out there. Any person who's got some basic understanding of human biology knows that it's the male's sperm that dictates the sex of the foetus. Women only have X chromosomes, while men have both X and Y and it's dependent on that whether the foetus is XX or XY. Food has no part in this in any rate maybe they should look into the diet of the men who's partners took part in the research during the time running up to conception. I think the researchers didn't differentiate between cause and effect...were these women miscarrying the male foetus because of their poor diets? I don't think so! There was no mention of miscarriages and this article is a complete contradiction in my eyes. "Although the DNA in sperm determines sex, it seems that in the never ending battle of the sexes mothers can favour the development of one sex of infant rather than another." How so? Plus if anyone watched BBC breakfast you should have seen the look on the faces of the presenters when someone emailed in explaining the normal process of sex determination in a embryo. They were asking "female sperms?" looool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacaylbaro Posted April 23, 2008 lool ,, wax walba way la iman. I didn't know the BBC is that ignorant and at least they would have someone from medical background to verify such programs before it is aired to the public. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted April 23, 2008 women who want a son should eat a generous bowl of cereal for breakfast, munch bananas, use more salt What about those who have Mcdonald's breakfast and slurpees between meals or those who eat canjeero with koob shaax rinji? I guess that's a nay nay if you want a son. L0L. Gaalo people! Wasting money on istupidh research. There is sex selection technology available for those who are really serious about a preference and want to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak. A child is a blessing, be it a boy or a girl. A safe healthy pregnancy is all that matters and it's not rocket science. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nuune Posted April 23, 2008 Sue sorry walaashiis, it is Nephy's fault, not me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nephissa Posted April 23, 2008 Sue, allow us the platform, please. The forum has committed a terrible suicide, in garamgaram af-Somali; 'wuu dhicisay' as nuune would say . There's some kinda childish bickering in almost every thread, the one you would encounter in a playground. Atleast [in here] we're just giving your thread some 'meat' yknow, bouncing other ideas around, L0L. nuune: dhartey? . ps: sorry Sue, I'm out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curly Posted April 24, 2008 Without sounding rude...I think you're more interested in ruining perfectly ok threads that don't need 'meat'. I'm trying to have discussions with people who care about the issues titled in the post. Try the troll thread in the general section, after all that's what its there for. The exits are... here , here and here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kool_Kat Posted April 25, 2008 LOL@Sue... They were talking about the same study the other night on our local news...My first thought: WTF!!! Wey waasheen gaaladii... I agree with you 110%, there are more worthy projects/studies that need funding, than 'why the number of boy babies is in decline in the west' study... Besides, boys are nothing but trouble yaa raba... **Waves @JB & Nuune!! PS, Nuune yaree hee yaah, take your trolling elsewhere, hadaadan waxba ku contribute gareyneen...

Geel_jire Posted April 29, 2008 Walahi I have hard time believing this kind of stuff without a detailed report the problem with articles are they leave out all the meat assuming the average person wont understand and leave the people who would, to write this off as statistical mumbo jumbo. usually when you are conducting tests to see what a certain input has what affect on the output you need at least two systems a control system and a test system. by keeping all other variables constant accross all systems involved in the tests and only varying the parameter we are interested in i.e diet (I'm not sure this how tests are done in medical science but im generalizing ) considering there can only be two possible outcomes i.e she gives birth to a boy OR gives birth to a girl and 9 months is a long time there are infinitely many things that they cannot account for which would render their test invalid. how many pregnant were included in the tests ? how were they able to ascertain what factors contributed to the sex of the child ? what was the overall size of the sample space ? it would be interesting to know what the false positives were ilaah baa qora ilmaha uurka ku jira lab iyo dhidig midkuu noqon doono seems much easier to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
