Babies

If the US only allowed couples to have one child, like China, what do you think would happen? Would we end up with as many girls as boys? More girls? More boys?

I *think* it would be pretty even. We get more excited about raising a "cute little x" than having an adult x to do whatever it is that China thinks men will do, and in my very unscientific polling there seem to be equal numbers of people who want a boy or a girl.

You're smoking the crack pipe again! There would certainly be more boys than girls. Now -- if we each were allowed to have two, then I would guess that things would even out.

You think? Why?

ditto. there would be more guys than girls--people are really into passing their name along and in our culture thats through the boys. Plus theres still a salary gap, so if people want to have their kid support them someday they're optimize for a boy.
