The Roman philosopher Seneca stated: "We drown our frail and sickly children". There will be about 40 million extra males in China in the next generation due to infant drownings, according to USA Today. Happens all throughout history. In fact in Rome it was legal to throw your children by the side of the road to die of exposure; these were called the "exposti" or 'exposed children'.
This practice was stopped in the Western world in 374 A.D. by the Christian emporor Valentinian I at the urging of Bishop Basil of Caesaria.
The correct format is AD 374. AD stands for Anno Domini (sp?) -- "In the Year of the Lord" -- and would naturally precede the date in the spoken word, and thus would do so in the written. One would think that you, at least, would have gotten that one right.
Infanticide has been practiced throughout history and even, during times of famine or strife, in so-called Christian countries.
I guess that depends on your viewpoint. I would say there will be 40 million less women (due to 40 million infanticides).

No, it was outlawed. It has never been stopped anywhere or anytime, and for obvious reasons.
Neat country. They'll need a flag with a hammer, a syckle, and a pink flamingo on it.
