What we see in China is a technological exacerbation of a preexisting problem. It was definitely a spooky experience to walk down the street in Guangzhou(sp?) and see nothing but boys on the backs of their mothers. The thing is, there is no technological fix to the cultural issue. A Chinese woman, sans choice, is just a woman sans choice. Remove it, and a prospective family will merely resort to "yesterday's solutions", which are significantly more gruesome and/or cruel than terminating a pregnancy safely.
Mind you, the thought of an abortion solely based on choice of sex for an infant-to me-is grotesque. I just don't see what taking the choice away would do besides forcing families to turn to the solutions that were previously available.
