IMA backs Maneka's idea of fighting foeticide
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Saturday backed Union minister Maneka Gandhi's suggestion of compulsory pre-natal sex determination test and registration of female foetuses as a way to tackle female foeticide. The association said that Maneka's statement shows that the 20-year-old ban on sex determination can be lifted now, and clarified that the idea is currently only being debated.
