This is why I found the whole &quot;missing women of China&quot; story so pointlessly ignorant. Practices of gender selection, cultured bananas (currently being wiped out by a fungus), GMO foods, etc are not a scourge. There&#x27;s nothing morally wrong about the precursors. We control auto traffic and water and all manner of the immaterial as part of our civilization. This is just the next rung in the ladder.
