I'm not sure about this, either. On one hand, it would allow people to prevent having a child born with sex-linked genetic disorders. Also, I would rather someone have a child that they wanted--I imagine there's nothing worse than being an unwanted child. If this means one less child is brutalized or neglected, I'm all for that aspect. If it means one less late-term abortion, I'm all for that.
I'm against, however, the selfish aspects of it. If I ever have children, I want to be surprised--I don't need that perfect family with a mommy, daddy, one boy and one girl in a Colonial house with a picket fence. It just seems silly to me to determine sex for the equal numbers.
