This week's reading log is about baby sex selection. Compaines are offering services for parents to select the gender of their babies. This is the first time I am so excited and interested in RL. Lol..

One of the articles provided by Ms Young:
http://www.gendercide.org/case_infanticide.html

In many cultures, government permitted, if not encouraged, the killing of handicapped or female infants or otherwise unwanted children. In the Greece of 200 B.C., for example, the murder of female infants was so common that among 6,000 families living in Delphi no more than 1 percent had two daughters.

This sucks. Why should girls be killed just because they are deemed as an inferior gender as compared to men?

One woman killed her daughter because of gender discrimination:
"Lakshmi already had one daughter, so when she gave birth to a second girl, she killed her. For the three days of her second child's short life, Lakshmi admits, she refused to nurse her. To silence the infant's famished cries, the impoverished village woman squeezed the milky sap from an oleander shrub, mixed it with castor oil, and forced the poisonous potion down the newborn's throat. The baby bled from the nose, then died soon afterward. "

So mean...these people;[[
