Opposing opposition to "sex fixing"

I don't support female foeticide, but I oppose opposition to what a recent story in The Tribune calls sex fixing [remember that opposing opposition to something is not the same as supporting it]. I'm a strong supporter of free market, and in my opinion the contemporary desire to have a male child over a female child is driven - in the language of economics - by demand and supply. It is perfectly okay, in my opinion, if a couple uses modern techniques to fix the sex of their would-be child.

A free market is self-correcting, and any indiscriminate use of such techniques shall automatically result in a situation that shall make such techniques undesirable. Furthermore, no harm to any living being is involved in the so-called sex fixing, and this factor itself makes the process legally and morally acceptable. Instead of thoughtlessly opposing sex fixing, we should analyze its harmless nature objectively, and then form an opinion.
