I just read "The Clone Traders" article from the 18 May issue of Financial Times. It is about how advances in human biotechnology have highlighted the need for international regulation. But religious and social differences between east and west could make this impossible. It also gives this startling statistic: "In spite of ecdonomic modernisation and laws forbidding discrimination against femals, 117 boys are born for every 100 girls in China today as a result of sonograms and easy access to abortion. In South Korea in the early 1990s, the figure reaches 122 boys for every 100 girls." Sad.
