quantum mechanics - Is my baby's gender an example of Schrodinger's cat?


At some time in the conception of a child, gender is determined by the X or Y chromosomes given by the male. This is, from my perception, a random selection, like the decaying atom.


Like Schrodinger's cat in a box, I am unable to know the gender of my child until I observe it through an ultrasound. Is my baby both a male and a female until I observe it?
