    The main ethical question I am aware of is that you can determine the gender of a baby in the womb with this technology. In some countries, one gender is greatly preferred over the other. This as resulted in the abortion of the many female fetus's in some third world countries where females children are thought of as a burden.

    I don't know what you can do to change it, but years from now, when marrying age females are in short supply (because they were aborted), then maybe female babies will become the preferred choice.
