After quake, 1-child policy causes pain - China earthquake- msnbc.com This piece can be read as a subtle critique of family planning and reproductive choice in our own country. But it is also a compelling portrait of an unforeseen outcome of state intervention in reproduction. It also speaks volumes for the longing of human beings to make --and nurture-- family. Sending love to all.
