Re: Doctor arrested for illegal abortions
I don't know if glamor magazine is right but if t were to be some scientific source, I'd have more trust in the authenticity of the material.
I woudln't doubt the authenticity of the information, majority of the article is interviewing doctors and patients and men and women who've had abortions or sold their wives, with statistics thrown in. So it's not really a scientific article, it relies more on anecdotes and first-hand accounts but I don't see any reason to totally distrust/disbelieve any facts or statistics provided.
Faisal, what's even worst, is that doctors are the ones who are opposing any activism. They have the most to lose, btwn ultrasounds and abortions, the industry makes about 100 million (USD) a year and not a single doctor has been disciplined for sex selection. So I think that shows they are not in any rush to help make teh situation better, and it's sad because they are in such a position of influence that if alot of htem got together and said "This is wrong" they could very well be on their way to eradicating this practice. So it's not just upto the villagers/victims to not abort their baby and expect to live a nice happy life.
