A woman in her 70’s gave birth to twins in a quest for a boy in Uttar Pradesh, India, reported BBC today. The woman’s husband, a farmer, also in mid-70’s said he wanted a boy to take care of his property. They conceived using the method of In Vitro Fertilization.
On one hand, India is making a mark in the world by its fast paced developement. Ironically, the same advancement is being used (in this case, IVF) to continue its inflated importance on males. A practice that puts an eldery woman’s life in danger to advance a culture that stresses male supremacy, is really sad and a slap in the face of 21st century’s “development”.
