It's the first question asked when a baby is about to arrive:
"Boy or girl?"
And in the case of a Toronto couple, the answer has been, essentially, "Whatever."

Never mind that the question can be answered with one peek down the diaper. What I don't get is the motivation. The parents, in their late 30s, seem to feel a terrible injustice is done by identifying something that goes back to Adam and Eve, namely, well, whether you're an Adam or an Eve.
