Technology, declining fertility and ancient prejudice are combining to unbalance societies?

Wasn't aware that Sweden legalized sex-selective abortion. Not sure if it makes too much of a difference. As if you have any legal abortion permitted you can just say you do not want the child and keep trying until you get the gender you desire. Sick practice, but that is what abortion has opened the door too.

As for China ,here is a thread referencing their gender gap issues. And lets hope their policies do not come home to the USA.

What caught my attention was TESTOSTERONE galore! Add that to their increased economy which is leading the world Economy and their military? I found the article interesting.

I always thought the interesting thing about this Chinese "experiment" is that soon you will have a generation mostly of people with no brothers or sisters, no cousins, no aunts and uncles. It's never been seen before. My guess would be a more self-centered, less interactive society, probably more materialistic and more diversion oriented than now.

The same thing is happening with Europeans. They haven't reproduced(sounds so cold) and they are gradually becoming extinct. However, people are moving up from Asia. The USA is on the same trend because like anything else technology has it's dark side.
