I'm in favor of it in the case of one parent being a carrier of a fatal sex-dependent disease (like Tay-Sachs or Huntington's Disease) or something like that.
I know it'll probably be abused by people with money, but in that sort of situation, I honestly think the 50/50 balance will come out in the end. (Except maybe in patriarchal societies where having a girl means just having another mouth to feed...but those same families might not necessarily have the money for this procedure anyway.)
