Any guesses what will happen with the 50-100 million excess males who are coming of age in India and China?

Males in cultures demanding marriage and children?

Males with no hope whatsoever of marriage and fullfillment within their borders?

I hear the sound of boots marching, marching, marching....

You hit the nail on the head. If you or anyone else needs proof, go to mainland China and see what 30 years of "One couple, one child" policy does to the male/female ratio. Sigh...just another "unintended" consequence of fiddling with a perfectly good system that the Creator gifted us with.

I guess we need to send more money to the planned parenthood organizations so they can iron out these little kinks in their plan.

(Does anyone know what the plan is?)

Be well...

Or, it could be the "low spark of high-heeled boys" you are hearing. :)

If that is true....I hope they march in the direction of Mecca......or Bejing.

"The craze for a male child in India is amazing and even sickening at times," said New Delhi physician Dr. Ashok Mittal.

One difference between India and most other poor countries is that in India, problems are admitted and talked about openly. They are working to control this problem, and they probably will make some headway.

My impression is that in the U.S., sex selection tends to be for girls. In both countries, it is very wrong.
