Feticide is described as the intentional destruction of a human fetus.
There are have been reports in the media in February 2007 of findings of bones of newly born babies in India. It is common knowledge are some families choose to have female fetuses aborted. I personally know a family who have been reported to have chosen this path. I also have family members who work in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in India and sometimes one hears things.
It is unlawful in India to use technology to determine the sex of unborn children and the termination of pregnancies on the basis of gender.
This female foeticide practice is related to the belief that the males are the carriers of the family genes; isn't this something you would probably hear on National Geographic or Discovery Channel?.
Can there be a worse level of cowardice? I am ashamed that something like this occurs in India. Things are changing but its too late for some...many.
