In China because of their one child policy and the people wanting to have a male heir female infanticide is rampant. I didnt realize this until recently when 2 of my collegues in China mysteriously lost their babies at birth, both girls - still birth they said but another collegue said what really happens there. even months after it happened one of the girls used to cry everytime she spoke about her pregnancy.
ya i had seen a documentary on this.......it has resulted in a gross imbalance in the male to female ratio....
so sorry to hear about your colleagues....
