Secularization
I'm not arguing for or against secularization, but here's something I found interesting:
A Gulf News article about choosing the sex of a child said:
Margie Fourie, who has two daughters, condemned choosing the sex of babies as "wrong" and "against God's will".
and
German housewife Mona Schwiers, 38, who has two girls, also said couples were better to leave the sex of their children to nature.
Notice how 'God's will' is between quotation marks and 'nature' is not.
A result of having the media dominated by non-locals? Of course, you can't blame the foreigners for this. How many English-speaking Emaraatis are there with journalism degrees?
Besides, what's the point of discussing such issues when there is no local debate on it and the introduction of legislation allowing such moves is very unlikely (and isn't even being discussed)? The 'related story' at the bottom is of a British case, which has nothing to do with the UAE.
