NHS and social services take the strain as usual

A British couple who conceived twin girls through IVF in India before returning to England for the birth have abandoned them at hospital because they wanted boys.

The mother aged 59 and father, 72, conceived in India with fertility treatment and returned to England for the birth.

They told horrified medics they did not want the "wrong sex" babies immediately after the Caesarean section in Wolverhampton.

The husband then asked how soon it would be before his wife was fit enough to fly out again for further IVF in the hope of getting a boy to continue the family name.

Here's your answer!

The parents were born in India but are British citizens living in Birmingham.

I think they’re already here. Unfortunately they are all “Value” brands.

Is there not a case for child neglect that they can be charged with?

Chinese are similar. From a book I read a while ago (50 facts that should change the world) :

China has 44 million missing women. For every 100 baby girls born in China in 2000, there were 116.8 baby boys. In China and India, sex-selective abortions are illegal but still common. China's 'one child' policy has meant that many births go unreported; these unregistered children won't be able to, for example, go to school or receive state-funded healthcare.
