Ted, old post, but still worth responding to: The most insane aspect is that Chinese parents are killing off girl babies because boys are preferred. Duh? How can there be a future population without girls/women? Same thing is happening in India, Korea, and other Asian nations. It's to the point where Korea has outlawed revealing the gender of an unborn child, IIRC. As for India, the boy/girl imbalance is leading to a cultural revolution of sorts. Before, it was the girl's family who had to buy gifts (dowry) for her future in-laws. These days, it's the other way around now that girls are a "rare commodity." And with that change hopefully comes more respectful treatment of women. Tenchusatsu
