[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 1567712, member: 3371"] Well I've never been to China so I won't hold myself up as some expert. But I do know that China is facing some extreme problems because of their imbalance of male to female children. [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5953508/ns/world_news/t/china-grapples-legacy-its-missing-girls/[/url] It's also clear to me, from interviews of China's leaders, that they are keenly aware of this threat to the stability of their society because it poses a threat to to their continued rule. The highest priority in China is stability and it's not in the interests of the government to pursue a policy that erodes that stability. [B]The abortion of females and infanticide of girls is happening in spite of Central government policy from Beijing, not because of it.[/B] What is happening in the remote provinces where the national government has less power is something else entirely. One could say the same thing about many countries, including the US. ETA: The states of Washington and Oregon both have Physician Assisted Suicide laws but it's not accurate to say that the United States supports physician assisted suicide. In fact it's just the opposite. [/QUOTE]
