I hardly think it's unhinged to see this causing trouble down the line. For starters, we've already seen that having artificial selection for gender causes social problems (ex. China and India selectively aborting for boys).
Secondly, at this point while it's only rich yuppies with mental problems dropping $50k to ensure they get the child they want, eventually technology is going to advance to the point where this is cheap enough that it'll become routine. It's already routine in India and China simply because there's less stigma against abortion and they don't bother with expensive fertilization procedures.
Thirdly, remember that one of the most common complaints on this forum is that men have no say in the childbearing process. If women prefer having daughters over sons in our society, there's not much their husbands/sperm and paycheck donors can do about it.
