Response to Glenn - Week 5

I liked your post, Glenn. I know that this gender genocide also happens in India. Here is a link that I thought was interesting reading on this topic: http://www.gendercide.org/case_infanticide.htmlI can also recall seeing, I think it was in Time Magazine that in China, many parents did not have the emotional strength to kill their daughters so they would take their babys to a well travelled road and drop them off, alive, in hopes that they would be picked up. I still have the visual in my mind. From what I remember, the babies would be collected and put up for adoption.It's hard to believe in 2008 that this stuff still happens.
