China Holds Relatives of One Child Rule Breakers Hostage
April 22nd, 2010Via: Times Online:
Doctors in southern China are working around the clock to fulfil a government goal to sterilise — by force if necessary — almost 10,000 men and women who have violated birth control policies. Family planning authorities are so determined to stop couples from producing more children than the regulations allow that they are detaining the relatives of those who resist.
About 1,300 people are being held in cramped conditions in towns across Puning county, in Guangdong Province, as officials try to put pressure on couples who have illegal children to come forward for sterilisation.
The 20-day campaign, which was launched on April 7, aims to complete 9,559 sterilisations in Puning, which, with a population of 2.24 million, is the most populous county in the province.
A doctor in Daba village said that his team was working flat out, beginning sterilisations every day at 8am and working straight through until 4am the following day.

Thousands of others have refused to submit and officials are continuing to detain relatives, including elderly parents, to force them to submit to surgery. Those in detention are required to listen to lectures on the rules limiting the size of families.
I have the solution to a lot of problems (but of course it will never be implemented/allowed). All parents should get their sons vasectomies as soon as the boys are physically capable of having it done to them (I don’t know what this age is – probably 10-12 years old).
Voila: no more unwanted pregnancies, no more pressured marriages, no more unwanted children, no more welfare, no more over population, etc… etc….
Having a child would be a very conscious, deliberate, and somewhat costly decision (buying a reversal).
This idea alone might end 99% of the world’s problems – who knows.
