Recently, China has decided to change the amount of boys and girls, via, after a pregnancy test, if it is a girl, it will probably result in the death of the girl. I would like your thoughts on this approach.
I did a case study on this two years before i left school, so four years ago, showing that it's not exactly recent.
And, in case it wasn't obvious, when I said the results would be good even if it was unethical, I didn't mean it was good that girls were aborted, I meant it might help deal with the crisis.
No i totally understand you but what i'm saying is there's a huge gender imbalance with the ratio of boys to girls being something like 4:1. Overpopulation has plagued China for ages, but this gender imbalance is more a problem and directly because of sex selective abortion.
So is this actually helping china much? And what if there's a drastic decline in girls. It wouldn't be very easy to balance out the genders if they keep letting the population of girls decrease and let the males increase. I think this is a very bad idea and that they should figure out another way to lower the population.
the ratio of boys to girls being something like 4:1.
It said 120 boys to every 100 girls in your latest link.
Anyways, from what I've seen so far, this seems to be the choice of the parents rather than the nation, as the OP made it sound like. This means that it's no longer about what's best for the nation, but about the parents doing what's best for them.
If the government is involved, then I'm going to assume they know more about what their country needs than I do, but if this is something they have no control of, then I can see a few risks.
"In eight to 10 years, we will have something like 40 to 60 million missing women," he said, adding that it will have "enormous implications" for China's prostitution industry and human trafficking.
^ I think this guy's got his priorities wrong, though.
Anyways, if the OP can tell us where he got the idea that China decided to make these changes for the sake of getting more workers as he stated in the beginning, I'll stick to my previous messages, but if his statement was bull**** and this is the actions of individuals, then I'll have to agree that it is a 100% bad thing.
then I'll have to agree that it is a 100% bad thing.
I still don't see how it's 100% bad for you [since you don't mind abortions] I kinda can't help but think the circumstances in which they live in are putting them at such issues. I honestly think that if the policy were removed, then Chinese parents with less money would still practice the same methods to get sons instead of daughters.

They would totally. I mean after the one child policy was abolished most Chinese families have kept to having just the one baby to keep in with cultural norms.
