I would have thought Thalidomide production would have stopped after the 60s incident , but it seems its still in use for various treatments.

Actually the rules on children are a bit more detailed than only being allowed one child.

Farming families are allowed to try a second time after having a girl because the law recognises the importance of having boys to help with the labour.

I have a friend on the internet who lives in china so I asked her about this once and she was talking about it in far more detail, but its certainly not as simple as that.

Also, the chinese class their birthday as the day of conception :)

I personally think this is a harsh but fair sentence for once, and I'm against the death penalty. However this was just greedy and inhumane. Risks shouldn't be taken with any human beings life, be it an adult or young babies.

interesting that cheers blaze, our waitress last week was from a town enviroment so was only goin off what she told us.:)

Re: China to execute two over poisoned baby milk scandal
 

So you don't agree with the death penalty but you think this is fair sentence, yet another oxymoron. Myself I think that would have been a fair sentence for Hindley, Brady, Huntley Sutcliffe and the like, but instead we keep them in a virtual life of luxury at a cost of millions to the tax payer:(
