I dunno, I find that's just something you have to cope with -- in the womb as elsewhere. Girls are a lot less likely to die early as a result of violence and more resistant to disease, so it evens out. (actually, I don't know what the current stats are on this, so I'll withdraw from this argument now)
Would people in the UK still chose boys? We both thought "yes, but not always" ... I think there are probably better ways to find out than making pre-birth sex selection universally available, though. A web survey, maybe ;)
challenge the attitudes, don't remove the option Yes, well now. In an ideal world there would be no laws and we would all just do the right thing. But until then ...
