Specially in developing countries of Asia and Africa, there is a tendency among rural, semi urban couples to cherish male child.Even there were instances of killing new born baby by putting in hot water or suffocation. Now with the advent of ultra sonography, it can easily be determined the sex of the baby. Termination of medical pregnancy occurs mainly when the test shows that the would-be baby is a female. However, poverty plays a role where the couple having 4/5 children are unable to feed their existing children and prefer termination.The determination Sex Test has been banned in Hospitals and nursing homes to bring parity to male-female ratio.
