YES it is always unethical to perform dangerous experiments on babies just to see if you can get them to come out a new and different way, if there was nothing wrong with them in the first place.
Do you know how many "culls" come out when they're doing genetic experiments on animals? A lot. And yeah. Some of those culls live. For a while. How is that somehow an okay thing to do to children just because you want children just like you?
People handle having children of other genders than their own all the time. Those kids that wanted to could become herms themselves someday.
Yes "We want babies like us!" is a far more laudable intention then "Tee hee wonder what happens", but it's still unethical as hell and potentially really unfair to the children.
Yes, there never would have been any born herms, and yes, now that it did turn out okay, born herms are awesome, but the original scientists? STILL WRONG.
