    Why, because RMS is too busy canning the HURD OS project lead because of doc license issues. The lead wanted a free license and RMS wanted a much more restrictive license.

    Interestingly, most abortions in Mumbai were performed in the same centre that also offered sex selection tests. The number of induced abortions peaked -- from 62.3 between 1976 and 1995 to 107.6 between 1996 and 2000 in Mumbai -- after the introduction of diagnostic techniques that aid sex selection and expansion of the private medical sector.

    g irl child has often been a victim to the worst forms of discrimination. Gender bias, deep-rooted prejudices, and discrimination against the girl child have led to many cases of female foeticide in the country. Strong male preference, with the extreme consequence of elimination of the female child, has continued to increase rather than decline with the spread of education and economic development. This trend has been helped further with the progress in science and technology. Now, modern techniques are available to select the sex of foetus before or after conception. Female infanticide now in most places has been replaced by female foeticide.

    Another thing that pisses me off is how much doctors charge those that do not have insurance and who are willing to pay upfront.
