The research also indicated male-biased sex ratios among U.S.-born children of Asian parents. The study involved 65 immigrant Indian women who revealed the pressure they face to have sons, the process of deciding to use sex selection technologies, and the physical and emotional health implications of both son preference and sex selection. Of these women, 40 percent had terminated pregnancies with female foetuses and 89 percent of the women carrying female foetuses in their current pregnancy went on to abort them. The results from the study could reasonably be deduced to Indians in Canada. However, it is not right to paint all Asians with the same broad brush as it is unjust to those who are against sex selection.

It was also noted that the execution of a ‘disclose sex only after 30 weeks’ policy would require the understanding and willingness of women of all ethnicities to make a temporary compromise and postponing the communication of such information is a small price to pay to save thousands of girl children.
