it actually is a problem according to most. It has something to do with finding out the future, fortune telling, ect.

Two objections to this line of reasoning:

1. Do you listen to the weather forecast? If they tell you there is a 90% chance of precipitation or that it’s going to be cold tomorrow, do you believe them?

2. Even if you grant (although I can’t imagine way) that listening to a weather forecast is a problem, this is certainly better than that. With the weather, you are “predicting” the future. Here, however, you are determining the current state of something *right now.* You aren’t guessing if a baby *will be* a boy or girl but rather, what it is at this moment.

How is it any worse than looking at an X-ray to determine if a bone is broken?
