I believe that eugenics has survived in China under all these political changes? With a little more advance towards the later years due to one powerful person, the disabled son of leader Deng Xiaoping, perhaps, but not a substantive change -- Seems now on the surface we may be *tolerated* but don't birth any more of us! The attitude still seems to be that China would be better off without a disabled population. Of course with the human genome this issue has also been raised in the U.S. with the arrival of the designer baby. Frankly, I don't really want to be living here either.
