When I read this article I was more thinking, its strange that the sex of the child (and even more strange that the sex of the first child) can have such an affect on the future health of the mother. Like its so weird that there are such consequences associated with the random chance of gender of the child. Its weird that there is such a difference, and it has been maintained by evolutionary processes.

Exactly, when I read the article I thought to myself: "haven't evolution with its natural selection processes made us to have offspring in a balanced manner between both sexes!?" I think that if it turns out to be undeniable that there is an imbalance and at the same time its discovered an easier way for parents to choose their baby’s sex, that will add to the discussion of whether human knowledge expansion might, sometimes, turn out to be counterproductive to ourselves! But that would be for another discussion…
It is certainly complicated!
