That's an interesting question. I really don't think this is, or needs to be, connected to morals. I think this is a subject that should be left up to the party involved. In my personal case, for example, the two time my ex-wife got pregnant I told her and the doctor that I did not want to know the gender of the baby--I wanted the old-fashion surprise and they did complied with my request.

If by determine you mean choose, well, for right now the question is trumped by the question, "Is it morally right to disgard a living embryo or foetus just because it's not the sex you want it to be?" - as those are the only ways of determining the sex of a child at present. If by determine you mean find out, then the answer is there's at least nothing intrinsically morally wrong with it.

nothing speaks against it.

So long as the baby is healthy, I see no problem with determining the gender of a baby.
