Over the last few years i have blogged on and off about termination of the female foetus leading to massive gender imbalances in India. It is something that bothers me terribly.

Yet, would my response be the same if hordes of women went and got their pregnancy terminated so that they don’t have a child with Down’s Syndrome? or that they didn’t have a child with visual disablilities?

Today’s article in the NYT got me thinking about my own responses to the same act

I definitely believe in the right not to have a child, just as I believe in the right to have a child. But this is not about theoretical belief’s, but about cold, hard reality.

How much do you genetically engineer/fine tune before it starts interfering with natural balance? Is it ok for dark parents to engineer a fair kid, or a family in North Delhi to genetically select male kids, …

Where does one draw the line, or is it really a matter of individual morality?
