Then the baby was born and it turned out to be a baby girl. That day the mother went out to the back yard and with boiling hot chicken soup she poured the soup down the baby girls throat and had killed the baby then she barried it in their own backyard. The couple then tried again and still another girl.

This policy was first hinted by Deng Xiaoping in a 1979 speech and was in place nationwide by 1981. It has received lot of criticism from almost every corner of the world ever since. Many people, especially people in western countries, consider this policy as a strong violation of human rights. But do you consider it a violation of human rights if we don't want the world being over populated?
