China Allows Quake-hit Families To Have More Children

From AFP:

Families whose children were left disabled in China’s devastating earthquake will be allowed to have another baby, the government of the province worst hit by the disaster said.

A new regulation adopted by the Sichuan government, posted on its website Saturday, also confirmed earlier reports that parents who had lost their children in the May 12 disaster could have another baby.

The regulation stipulates that a family whose child was disabled during the 8.0-magnitude quake, and who could no longer perform normal work, was allowed to apply to have another baby.
