Bias against females

lundi 21 mai 2018 à 02:00

In India, out of every 1000 girls born, 19 die from the effects of bias against females.

The author of the article confuses the issue by claiming that "girls die" when female fetuses are aborted. That's absurd, because a fetus is not a boy or a girl. A fetus is not a human being.

The campaign against sex-selection puts abortion rights at risk in general.

We can tell from the quotations that the researchers who wrote the medical article were careful to avoid that mistake.

Lending countries money

China is the latest economic imperialist to lend countries money they can't afford to pay back. Many countries are in debt to the IMF, or to US banks, and can't pay it back. Hugo Chavez used Venezuela's oil money to rescue Argentina from its debt to the IMF.

China could win lots of international support by buying that debt and offering less oppressive terms for paying it back.

Erroneous identification

lundi 21 mai 2018 à 02:00

UK thugs' face recognition system, applied to ordinary members of the public, identified people erroneously 90% of the time.

It could be worse: it could identify them correctly 90% of the time. And that is likely to happen in a few years if this system is not banned entirely.
