Here in america, yes most people probably don't really care if their child is male or female. However, lets say theoretically that this technology becomes widespread and available to everyone in all countries. In places like India, for example, you will see that the vast majority of children born will be male, simply because according to their culture a male child is much > a female one. I'm not sure about the exact statistics, but i do know that the vast majority of the abortions and such made there are on females. Therefore, being able to decide which gender your child is can potentially have an enourmous impact on the balance of genders nationwide.

In summary, i believe that such practices are wrong, and genetic alteration should only be restricted to treating chronic or life threatening hereditary diseases and nothing more. Think of this way: imagine being a guy in school, and having a hard time finding a date cause the guys outnumber the girls 2 or 3 to 1! These type of sitiuations should be avoided at all costs! =)
