According to the NPR segment I heard, some in India believe that the practise is going to catch up with people in the long run. The reason some Indian couples are doing the sex selection is that they can't afford a dowry for a daughter. But, if eventually women are scarce, it's the men who'll have to have the dowrys and impress the parents of the women. In other words, Karma.
