Progress isn't automatically a positive thing.
Individuals, of human or other animal species, with serious genetic defects generally do not live long and are less likely to procreate. That, is natural selection. I don't believe we should be meddling with these things as much as we already are.
Sure, being able to weed out the "damaged goods" could potentially be an ideal for many people. But in this case there was no genetic condition other than that they wanted a girl instead of a boy. While I can see if not fully accept the justification for this type of procedure when it is based on "weeding out the unwanted", I do NOT condone it when its purpose is to please human vanity.
