If all this society can give me is humiliation, disrespect and exploitation then kill me before i step into the world surrounded by people who are waiting to torture me, exploit me, molest me and make me a victim of their greed and lust. Kill me in the womb itself so that i dont have to face the realities of this traumatic life. Kill me before i have been made to believe that i am nothing but a burden on this family and the society. Kill me before i am told that i cant do well since i am a girl and my mental faculties are not as developed as the boys. Kill me....kill me....kill me (Voice of a Female Foetus)
As the technology is penetrating its strong tentacles into our daily lives we realize that he have knowingly or unknowingly become very very dependant on it. I feel handicapped if my internet is not working or if there is a problem with my laptop because i feel i am not connected to the outside world. Technology thus has its good and bad aspects.
Technology has done wonders in the field of medical science. We can now be cured for the deadliest of diseases and still continue to live happily. Infact i was reading about this recent technological innovation that now one can actually decide upon the colour of the eyes, hair of their baby when in womb. They can also get to know how intelligent the baby would be and so on and so forth.
But isnt this so called "technological breakthrough" contributing to a low sex ratio? Isnt it helping in killing of female feotuses every day? Sex determination is illegal and abortion on the basis of it is punishable by law. But has it stopped both the parents as well as the doctors to deermine the sex of the baby? No it has not.
My basic idea is that when we look out of our homes to the grassroot level, lets say to the villages, we see that even if the girl child is born she is disrespected and humiliaed at every step of her life. So is it right for us to listen the voice of the foetus? What is the use if the girl shild is brought into this world wherein she is going to suffer even more pain and trauma? And mind you, many of u would say that this doesnt happen now. Things have changed in the twenty first century. But please before commenting think about it and read this story at http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1912/19120420.htm
