Male Sex Determination

Y chromosome has significantly reduced in size over millions of years, raising the possibility of evolving new sex-determination systems and the emergence of different human species in the distant future.

It is a well-established fact that many doctors across the country have been caught promoting and pushing for gender-selection in favour of the male child. A lucrative, illegal and unethical business. But are they also practising this in their personal lives?

A sex determination test on Asian Games gold medallist Pinki Pramanik, who is in judicial custody accused of rape and of being a 'male', could not take place on Monday with the police insisting it take place in jail, while a government medical team was formed during the day.

In India, female infants are more likely than male infants to die of easily treatable conditions, according to a recent report.
