		<description>Dear Dr. Sabu M. George,
I am honored to have you reflect your point of view, and appreciate your dedication and service to the cause to rid India from the curse of gender selective abortions. You are someone who actually did something about it, unlike us reactionaries. 

I am aware of the fact that direct infanticides are extremely hard and rare act, somehow there is a thin distinction between abortion and/or murder. In my personal view, even one such case is a &quot;lot&quot;. It will not be unjust and unfair to the nation and our people if we could trade the stigma of giving birth to a girl child, which can consume their entire life struggling with the menaces of (dowry, abuse, taunts, burning, torturing, etc.).   to the stigma of being unfairly accused of few extra infanticides, until such practice is no more. 

Long shot, but since Indians abroad are accessing these products and sending home, Indian diaspora in western countries should be denied access to these product, I for one shall not be offended when declined access to such products.
Thank you again for being you.</description>

		<description>Dear idealistard
I appreciate your efforts and agree with most of what u have written.  After spending 23 years working on girl child issues, I would like to respond to your  statement &quot;a lot of people in India do not feel necessary to use gender determination methods to kill unborn girls, a lot of girls are conveniently smothered after being born&quot;.  
This is not fair to Indian women or to the society.  Killing girls at or immediately after birth is an extremely difficult act.  I have lived in Indian villages for over 6 years working with communities on ameliorating girl child neglect.  Direct infanticide is an extremely rare event, at present it is responsible for low child sex ratios (females/males) only in about 10 of 600 India&#039;s districts.  And these are among the areas most hostile to human survival (not just girl infants). 
Indian child sex Ratios have started to fall in a big way only after modern foetal sexing technologies have been misused in the country over the last 30 years.  We are now heading towards elimination of 1 million girls by the next Census, 2011.  The potential Indian market for products for eliminating girls is over 20 million in the coming decade.  It is in this context I have taken objection to global internet companies from profiting from promotion of sex selection by filing the petition in the Indian supreme Court.  Even if a few thousands of desperate families are forced to kill their girls that is no justification for internet companies to promote gender selection products to millions of Indians.

		<description>Dear Dr. Kuldeep Verma,

I am glad that you now adhere to a perspective widely known and practiced by people with a notion of strong moral and ethical position on gender selective genocide. I also appreciate the fact that you are trying to engage general public on your adjusted views of the facts on the grounds in places like India and China. In addition to realizing that you may not get in a legal limbo, but nonetheless, there is a big difference between what may be within legal bounds but immoral and or unethical by widely if not universally practiced standards of society. 

I am sure there is a lot of hard work and dedication involved in the work that you do and have done on research and development of this product, and it may bring happiness and joy to millions of people around the world who do not have the luxury of getting regular ultrasounds and gender determination of the child they are expecting, once it is mass produced and affordable for people in the developing countries. 

Along with mass production and availability comes the fear that, the huge demand in India will create a black market for your product eventually. Like trafficking drugs, weapons, women and children, and  organs your product will be paid for and abused by the highest bidders in India. 

You maybe currently facing legal challenges in India which will be over in due time, there are often fallouts of bad business and ethical judgments but public usually has a very limited memory, if you(company) and product survived this time you will be fine. 

What you need is an explicit declaration of commitment and social responsibility on your company&#039;s existence, mission statement, additional pages on your website showing affirming and reaffirming this commitment, pictures of hugging some orphans or supporting some NGOs would also be good, the usual cleanup most American companies do  after fall outs. Only you know your intent and genuine commitment (hopefully you do), Keep on engaging public, the tides will turn eventually. 

 Whether you invented it out of conviction or greed, the history will judge you and your invention in a decade or two, when new tallies of toll is made available by related Agencies. You may find this criticism harsh but if it may be helpful, your product may not be the only contributor or may not contribute (as per your commitment) to continual genocide of girls, a lot of people in India do not feel necessary to use gender determination methods to kill unborn girls, a lot of girls are conveniently smothered after being born.

Thank you again for your efforts to engage general public, if there are any responses, statements and commitments going forward I will be glad to have them on my post.</description>

		<description>Please do not take us wrong. We have record of orders coming from India cancelled by us right away. We were misguided by a business lawyer that if a sample is tested outside India, it may not be a problem. Only two customers have misused us by ordering from us and then sending to India. We came to know of it afterwards. After this interview, our perspective has changed. 

We hereby commit ourselves not to register or encourage any order linked to India, directly or indirectly.</description>
