amir's miss...

Dear Amir Khan, Simply shouting "stop female foeticide" is not the answer. First tackle the problems which sends shudders through a would-be father's mind whenever he expects a girl child. The fear is not just dowry, my friend. Her vulnerability at the hooligan stricken Indian roads, her vulnerability to be labeled "loose" by the Indian society at the slightest of pretext, her burden of innumerable social rules, they all fall on a father's shoulder to tackle... So naturally his "disinterest" to raise a girl child. But I believe Aamir Khan missed the fine prints... Similarly, expecting doctors to stop being professionals and start doing charity is preposterous. The cut system is an western import and not an evil endemic to India alone to be seen with raised eyebrows. Maybe you have quoted a few points but you missed that a doctor is given the right to determine his own fees and a patient is obliged to pay it... Dictors offer their expertise which they gain after herculean hard work. Indian health care system is much much cheaper than the west. But the western system functions smoothly because the government ensures that everybody has health insurance. They don't plead doctors to do charity. Doctors there remain the highest paid professionals... It's good that you want to make a change, but beating around the bush won't work... You are not here with the solution, but rather being a part of the problem...
