AB  - Advances in modern medicine are resulted from unrestricted and unlimited research 
      disregarding many essentials of a research including ethical issues. Following 
      ethical issues, many of unwanted pregnancies and abortions can be avoided. 
      Several factors such as medical issues including X linked disease, has encouraged 
      couples to select traditional or modern techniques in selecting the gender of 
      their children. Some of these methods are corrected Swim-up method or washing of 
      spermatozoa, Percoll gradient sperm separation method, grass wool column filter 
      method method, albumin separation method, microsort method using FISH 
      (Fluorescence in situ hybridization), free electrophoresis method, Ph adjustment 
      method, pre implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)/fluorescence in situ 
      hybridization. This technology is confronted with many ethical issues. Ethical 
      considerations PGD in the SEX SELECTION differ in different religions and their 
      perspectives on this issue. In this this review, electronic databases, books and 
      Internet sites were completely searched and full articles including required 
      keywords and techniques were obtained and reviewed. The rites and religions, were 
      different and had legal perspectives and opinions about PGD. In some non-Islamic 
      countries there are strict rules to control the use of technology. Some of these 
      methods are costly and even risky. They also involve ethical issues such as 
      legitimacy of the conceived fetus; recommending final touches in sex selection is 
      still considered a taboo and a big issue in some cultures or mono-sexual 
      families. Islamic views and beliefs are more flexible and the use of these 
      technologies are allowed to preserve the health and lives permit. Islam strongly 
      favors humanity and supports different issues if they are not in conflict with 
      the primary concept of legitimate reproduction and are beneficial to human 
      beings.
