    If you have the opportunity, do a search for "Valerie Hudson" and "Bare Branches". The former is a researcher at Brigham Young University; she came upon the startling but true conclusion that the sex ratio imbalance in Asia has dire political ramifications. The latter is the book that she wrote, discussing the subject. Also, she has authored essays for "The Economist" and "The Washington Post".

    The sex ratio at birth (SRB) of males to females in China is a shocking 1.20. The normal SRB is 1.05.

    The SRB for Taiwan province is 1.10. The SRB for Korea is 1.20. The SRB for Indian is 1.20.

    Both Japan and the USA have an SRB of 1.05.

    We live in a country where you can rent a woman's womb for 9 months and pay her to carry your baby.

    We live in a country where you can buy and sell organs.

    We live in a country where you can buy and sell children.

    I think we should stop pretending that we care about any ethics or morals.

    If you got the cash, I got what you want.
