Imagine if all the world advanced the way the U.S. did, but in a shorter amount of time. We're headed that way as China and India modernize. It will be a mess.
I had commented on this last fall when it came up on Reddit, but basically the jist of this is this: cultural relativism.
It's easy for us to look at an article like this and feel appalled, but think about it from a chinese man's perspective. To them, carrying on the bloodline is the most important thing. Couple this with the fact that each person can only have one child, and you can see why a man might feel cheated, when his chosen partner hid her genes from him.
