Professor Jerry Coyne
University of Chicago, Dept of Biology
“The reason we don’t allow
euthanasia of newborns is
because humans are seen as
special, and I think this
comes from religion—in
particular, the view that
humans, unlike animals, are
endowed with a soul.”
Gender Gap
Christophe Z Guilmoto, Sex Imbalances at birth: Trends, consequences and policy implications,
United Nations Population Fund, Hanoi (October 2011)
Roadside sign in Danshan Township
"It is forbidden to discriminate against,
mistreat or abandon baby girls"
