Infanticide

Infanticide

            Unnecessary and cruel things are happening in societies related to the killing of young children. In China, there is a law that prohibits people from having more than one child. The government decided to make that law because of the population of people increasing in the world. 1/5 of the population increasing in the world is just from China.

            If people make the decision to have more than one child, the government will tax and fine them. Some people, even though they are going to be fined, they have made the choice to have more than one child. Their decision to have a boy and a girl sometimes does not turn out and they have two girls. People in China prefer to have a boy instead of a girl because they will have to give their fortune not to their daughter but to their husband. When they have two girls, they decide to commit an unnecessary and cruel crime they, kill one of them.
            Murder is a bad crime that is should not justified for anyone. If murder is not justified for adults, why should it be justifiable for infants who cannot defend themselves? Murder is usually committed by ruthless people of whom they do not trust. Murder also should not be committed by their own parents, doctors or anyone. Just because people decide that, they want to have a boy when having a baby does not mean it will happen. There is only a 50% chance that a boy might be born. If people do decide to have a baby they should take, responsibility and take care for the child not kill it even though it is not the gender they choose. It is not the child’s fault so why should they be punished? When people murder other people, they are arrested for what they did. If any parent kills their baby, they should be punished for what they did and should suffer a punishment. Infanticide should not be treated lightly it is a major problem that the world suffers; an attempt to resolve it will make a better world for  us.
