One of my Dr. Client was was very upset over the recent PCPNDT actions against Drs and hence suggested why there should not be compulsory sex determination.......
After pondering over it, I have tried to pen down few aspects.,.
In order to curb the evil of Sex Determination, the PCPNDT Act, 1994 was enacted with various amendments in 2003. However it’s a matter of record that this Act also could not stop illegal sex Determination.... As per 2011 report, per 1000 male child, the no. of female child was reduced to 914 on National Level!!
