I personally am repelled by the idea of choosing a baby's sex.  I
don't see it as a practice that needs banning, but I do see where the
logical next step is "Why can't my baby be blond, or tall, or any
number of other more desirable traits?" and I can further see why
some people want to nip it in the bud, right or wrong.  My question
is, at what point would the possible practice of "tinkering" with
one's progeny before they're even conceived be banned?

People want to ban it already, so I doubt that if abuse starts to get out of hand it will escape early notice.

I also wonder, if such tinkering becomes viable, does it have the
possibility of damaging an egalitarian society?

How so?
