Plight of families in China

It does not escape me that the day bringing me the biggest joy of my life comes at a very great sacrifice of another.

From what I have read of China's "One Child Policy", I am amazed that a country growing into the modern age still has such a program. It seems to little-old-nobody-me that other incentives could be put into place to curb the population growth as the politicians desire-- economic, educational, etc. Heck...just use the mass media....it's used in America to brainwash us couch potatoes every day. However, stories like this today on NPR, do not amaze, they disturb the very core of my being. The devastation these families must feel after such unspeakable acts are forced upon them is beyond horrible.

International community...are you listening? This is not okay; yet, I feel so very small and powerless in the face of today's evil.
