We've been tempering with domesticated plants and animals for thousands of years. How would female selection be a bigger ethical issue than selecting cows and chickens for the milk or eggs they produce? It seems less cruel to me, if you consider the fate of the male animals. We need to think about ways to improve the system.

Yeah.. it sounds like a tradition thing. Changing customs doesn't sit well when there's established teachings based on sacred words.
