Which is preferable: a son or a daughter?

I would prefer a son. In Chinese culture the son carries on the family name, while a daughter changes her name when she marries. Further, having a daughter will mean that the family will have to provide her a dowry when she gets married and that is a drain on the family's finances. Sons are also instilled with a sense of duty to care for their parents in their old age.
