The missing women in India

 

The greater choice for women to choose from? What? All the imbalance means is that there are less eligable females for marriage, meaning, in a recognised practical sense that men will find it extremely hard to find a wife, with many having to look elsewhere out of desperation.

 

So you see the imbalance lowering the birth rate in a utilitarian sense, do you? Sure you could justify neutering male babies at birth then, couldn't you?

 

There is nothing inhumane about killing an unborn child purely because of their sex? No? So I suppose there's nothing inhumane about killing an unborn child because its got a cleft lip too?

 

 

Just another example of your absolutely ridiculous views, Paul, one that I think deserves a reprimand, if at least a warning.

 

 

 

 

Good comment Paul, boy was I told...

 

And for your information, your reply also violates the CoC for derogatory remarks, which seems to be a staple of your behaviour towards myself on this forum.

 

And once again, you have diverted attention away from your original post, which still remains as ridiculous as ever.

 

As a matter of interpretation, I believe the killing of unborn babies due only to their sex, whether legal or not in that country is extremely humane, and many would agree with me on this.

 

The fact that there are so many men to women may provide a benifit to some people, but the overwhelming majority of the side effects of this are negative. Men cant find a wife, so insest becomes common. The female population, as such a small percentage, are under more pressure to stay at home and rear children, thus lowering their chances of education and independant living. There is a lack of female role-models in society, and the birth-rate plummets. You claim this is a good thing, that is because you are from, I am assuming Britain, where there are no such family restrictions and thus you can look upon the issue ina utilitarian sense, not in the sense that a one child rule infringes on the human rights of the parents and limits their social freedom. The family is the cornerstone of western society and has been warped in countries such as China, where the state intervens past the front door. In Britain, and outlined explicitly in Ireland's Constitution, the family is the unit under which society is built, and no such family limiting practice would ever be allowed to be instituted.

Anticipating social problems
The report, carried in the newspaper, said China�s sex ratio for newborn babies in 2005 was 118 boys to 100 girls, a huge jump from 110 to 100 in 2000.

In some regions such as the southern provinces of Guangdong and Hainan, the ratio has ballooned to 130 boys to 100 girls, the newspaper said. The average for industrialized countries is between 104 and 107 boys for every 100 girls.

The report predicted that by 2020 the imbalance would mean men of marriageable age � especially those with low income or little education � would find it difficult to find wives, resulting in possible social problems.

The problem is not just a rural issue, with the newborn gender imbalance also widening in cities. In the first 11 months of 2006, there were 109 boys born in Beijing for every 100 girls.

China Daily said one way to solve the problem would be to create a proper social security system so rural couples would not feel they needed a son to depend on when they get old.

Up to 800 million of China�s 1.3 billion people live in the countryside.
