While I don't agree with the parent's decision it was an interesting story line. It was also representative of some actual earth cultures. In China when only one child was allowed per family females were aborted in favor of males. This is no different than Star Trek or any weekly program where political issues were explored that were reflective of Earth cultures. Even in America today most husbands want a male child to carry on their name. Americans believe in personal choice when they are making the choice. When another culture is making the choice we are quick to voice our opposition.
