Female Feticide
Female Feticide
Fahad Hingoro Roll Number 28 Bs Part III { Article }
Female feticide is the
termination of a fetus within the womb on the grounds that its sex is female.
Female feticide is thus the conjunction of the two ethical evils; abortion and
gender bias. A fetus’s right to life out weights the parents right to wealth,
pride, or convenience, whether the fetus is, male or female. The term “sex
selective abortion” is preferable to the term feticide, since its points to
both of the ethical evils inherent in this practice.
Female feticide has replaced
female infanticide as a means to reduce or eliminate female offspring. In
societies women’s status is very low, many female fetuses rejected thus, at
least 100 million of the total number of aborted fetuses have been victims of
female feticide. This number is based on predicted ratio of boy to girl births
and does not take into account of the male and female fetuses that are aborted
for non gender-based reasons.
The practice of female
feticide denies the purpose of all human life salivation through transformation
in the image of the God. An aborted fetus is denied this transformation in its
fullest sense. Therefore, the Orthodox Church, which exists “for the life
world,” has an ethical responsible to denounce the practice of female feticide;
to persuade national political and economics leaders to oppose female feticide;
to understand and counteract its economic, societal, and religious causes and
to care for those who suffer from its effects.
In countries such as china
and India, the practice of infanticide continued into the 20th
century. However, the 1970s saw a dramatic drop in the girl to boy ratio in
India, when abortion was legalized and ultrasound technology enabled families
to determine the sex of their child by the fourth month of pregnancy. By 2018
ratio slipped to 814 girls for every 1000 boys as opposed to natural rate of
952 girls for every 1000 boys. A recent case in Mirpurkhas city Sindh a family who
was not having a baby for couple of year. After some years they got a baby girl
they were happy enough, after two year they again got a baby girl, father was
not happy because he wanted a baby boy not a baby girl. And he was cursing his
wife as if she was responsible for all this. Another case of female feticide was
seen in khairpur Nathan shah, a came to know through ultrasound that fetus was
a baby girl but they wanting a baby boy.
The ethical problems goes
along with economic growth in many cases, it is the wealthy families that can
afford ultrasounds and abortions. If unchecked, the problems will grow in
propositions to the Pakistani economy. unfortunately, manly female infants meet the
same end in Pakistan. According to the Edhi foundation, it was estimated that
more than a thousand infants were killed
or left to die last year. the tragic truth is that most of these figures are gathered from the main
Pakistan cities while the number of killings from rural goes undiscovered. The
Edhi foundation has also said that it has found forty babies dead in garbage
dumps and sewers.
The rate of female infanticide has risen
in Pakistan and it is believed that poverty is the one of main
factors behind this sad reality. Because
many woman are not permitted to work and became the "financial
responsibility" of fathers and husbands, girls are seen as `greater economic burden`.
Don’t let a female become a
burden; provide her with the most beautiful upbringing, let her have access to
best education you can afford, cherish her, and adore her rather than looking
down on her is if she were dust under your feet. she is a blessing from God
accept her.
