India's 'girl deficit' deepest among educated

NEW DELHI - Banned by Indian law for more than a decade, the practice of prenatal selection and selective abortion remains a common practice in India, claiming up to half a million female children each year, according to a recent study by the British medical journal, The Lancet.

The use of ultrasound equipment to determine the sex of an unborn child - introduced to India in 1979 - has now spread to every district in the country. The study found it played a crucial role in thetermination of an estimated 10 million female fetuses in the two decades leading up to 1998, and 5 million since 1994, the year the practice was banned. Few doctors in regular clinics offer the service openly, but activists estimate that sex-selection is a $100 million business in India, largely through mobile sex-selection clinics that can drive into almost any village or neighborhood.

The practice is common among all religious groups - Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Muslims, and Christians - but appears to be most common among educated women, a fact that befuddles public health officials and women's rights activists alike.

So crowded... they need something.. have you google earthed india yet? its insane concrete buildings.

WTF. Some people are just so fucking stupid and docile.
The need something alright. How about a fucking bomb from Iran. Hahaha.


On another note. Did you know Australia and New Zealand is like the exact opposite. The women outnumber the men massively. Due to they're job industry in some way, I can't remember it was on some Yahoo News a while ago.

Because women are more intelligent than men. I dunno.

But it is ridiculous about this problem in India, isn't it? They need to work something out so they don't end up becoming a complete sausage fest over there.

Aside from not being able to do the nasty, I think I'd prefer to not have kids if the alternative is to maybe be rounded up and exterminated to control overpopulation.
