Gendercide and femineglect (the deliberate neglect of females vis-à-vis health, education, etc.) is rampant, especially in Asia. This paper reviews gendercide, the selective abortion of female foetuses based solely on gender, and femineglect, along with the inevitable and potentially catastrophic demographic consequences.
