HAAS HE SEX of your child may depend, part, on the mood you and your mate are in at the time of conception. At least that’s a theory advanced by one husband- wife research team. Exactly what determines the sex of an unborn child is, of course, a complicated biological process that begins at the moment of conception. Science knows that there are 46 chromosomes; 44 areneutral, one is for male, and oneis for female. The burning desire to succeed, or a need to gain ego strength.” according to the Schu- sters, “keeps his body in a mild state of low-level continual anxiety, thusinhibiting the male sex gamete, resulting in the siring of female offspring most frequently. “Conversely, a woman who wants to climb the social ladder, make a career for herself in a competitive business or professiun, etc., is also creating conception under stress, they could produce a large family of both boys and girls. problems.” The Schusters initiated their research into this subject by giving a standard psychological test to 95 Los Angeles parents whose family composition was known. Working in reverse, they drew up a set of some 16 personality traits which repeatedly showed up in parents of opposite-sex offspring. With these traits as guidelines, they then tested a group of graduate students at Towa State, ali of whom were married and had children. The researchers were unaware of the sex of the offspring in this group. The Schusters were able to predict with some 73 percent accuracy whether the couples had a majority of male or female children. In a laboratory experiment, the Schusters tested their theory on rats, getting them upset by confining them in a smallscreen funnel one hour a day for a week and then mating them. The sex ratio of the offspring wasadditional proof to them that they were on the right track. @ If the father is under mild stress and his wife is not, they are likely to have stumbled onto something important will proper combination to get either a boy or a girl has long béen thought to be purely accidental. But now psychologists Donald H. Schuster and his wife Locky of Iowa State University claim that a given amount of emotional stress creates an unfavorable physical environment, and somebiological mechanism selectively eliminates the sex factors which would create a child of the same sex as the stressed parent. In other words, the hyper-ambitious fatheris unlikely to produce a son. Andif he should marry an aggressive, equally ambitious wife, the union very probably will not be blessed with offspring at all. Here is the way stress affects childbirth, according to the test results compiled by the Schusters: @ If neither the father nor the motherare mostly girls. @ If both father and mother are mild!, stressed, they may have one boy, one girl. @ If the father suffers no stress but the mother is mildly stressed, they will have mostly boys. @ If both parents are under more than mild stress, their chances of having children are sharply reduced, in some cases to the vanishing point. “A man with a determined drive, a that spiral upwards and out- wards. Fa:nily Weekly, March 22, 1970 Whether or not the Schusters have depend upon much more research and study. Their advice to couples for creating healthier emotional climates at home, however, goes far beyond determining the sex of an infant. Mentalstress and excessive professional drive can lead to a destructive breaking point somewhere along the line. So what they are sayingis to relax little and get more out of life—perhaps a boy, perhaps a girl. Or maybe even both! |
