China’s top lawmakers want to make it a crime for doctors to detect an unborn baby’s sex for non-medical reasons, in a bid to combat the abortion of female fetuses, government-run newspapers reported Sunday.
It is already illegal in China to use an ultrasound or other means determine if a fetus is a boy or a girl, but doctors who do so only face administrative penalties and not criminal charges, the China Youth Daily reported.
