I believe that I recall an article some time this year in the Los
Angeles Times, reporting that Koreans are apparently engaging heavily in
fetal sex detection and selective abortion, sufficiently so to produce a
significant increase in the proportion of male to female children being
born.

(I cannot resist noting that I am highly amused by all the mindlessly
egalitarian outrage over such behavior.  I do not know whether abortion
is ethical or unethical, but I am very sure that it is no more or less
ethical if done for sexual selection than otherwise.  Go on, flame me!)

[WARNING: we will *NOT* discuss abortion in this forum!!  There are other,
 very heavily trafficked, forums for that sort of stuff...so I will reject
 any followups that discuss that aspect of this posting.     -- Dave]
