Indians prefer boys
Despite modernization, many Indians continue to have sex-selective abortions. What's more, the trend seems to be growing.
Catherine Price [2008-04-15]

  • This is actually wonderful

    India has 1 billion people. The Indian people, due to a cultural bias of monumental proportions, are going to reduce their population.

    Here's how it will work. The Indians, for the next 10 years, maybe 20, will use sex-selection abortions. By 2018, the male:female ratio will be 7:4 or thereabouts. That means, in all practical senses, that the Indians are withdrawing almost 25 % of their population from the reproduction process. That is, there will be 3/7 of the male population in excess of female. 4:4 will match, mate and reproduce. 3/7 of the males will not.

    It will reduce the indian population, by 2050, by about 15 %.

    I say, WONDERFUL.

    Make sex-selection abortions cheap. Allow this to happen. NOT A PROBLEM.

    Of course, I'm not an Indian man, thank god.
