Gender Testing

As many of you already know, my husband and I are pregnant with our first child. As a mom-to-be, I've noticed there are some common follow-up questions people ask when they learn you're expecting... including "is it a boy or girl?"

Gender testing has been in the news a lot recently. Apparently, there is a blood test on the market that can reveal the gender of a child as early as five weeks into a pregnancy. Obviously, this raises some ethical questions. Here's a link to a recent MSNBC article.

I definitely have my own opinions regarding gender testing, but I'm curious to hear what you think. Is knowing more earlier in the pregnancy a good thing or are we taking this too far?
