I can see both sides of this. On the one hand, it seems selfish and it's said that it would result in an overabundance of boys, who would then have no girls to marry.
On the other hand, I have taught--in ESOL class--women from other countries who had abortions in the last trimester solely because they found out they were carrying girls. I cried.

Late abortion (in particular) upsets me, too.
The other part that tilts the balance for me (to allow it, anyhow) is the genetic disease factor. If you knew that you & your spouse were carriers of a certain gender-related disease (ie: hemophelia), wouldn't you want to lessen the risk?
I'm still on the fence with this one.
