Answer 1

Explanation:

The Chinese Government has recently issued a series of decrees to ban the illegal identification of fetal sex in the wake of a serious sex imbalance of newborn babies. The Law on the Health Care for Mothers and Infants of the People's Republic of China, which came into force in June 1995, explicitly bans the malpractice of identifying the sex of the fetus. Violators are, depending on the nature of the case, subject to penalties ranging from disciplinary sanctions to revocation of business licenses. The malpractice of fetal sex identification has become rampant in recent years as a result of a growing tendency of preference for boys over girls. Such fetal sex determination often results in the discontinuation of pregnancy and, consequently, a serious imbalance of sexes among newborns. Statistics show that the sex ratio at birth in some parts of the country is very high. Demographers repeatedly warn of the serious social consequences that will arise from such imbalance. The Central Government and provincial governments have mapped out a series of regulations banning fetal sex identification without medical authorization. Fujian, a coastal province in east China, recently adopted measures to control the use of ultrasound scanning machines for fetal sex identification. Among other measures, there is a massive publicity campaign to increase awareness of the serious situation and educate the public on the new measures. Medical care institutions and family planning organizations are urged to inform their staff of the new regulations, and notices banning the malpractice should be posted in conspicuous places in major medical venues.
