China is putting an end to the one-child policy it first introduced in 1980. The policy led to the graying of the population, a skewing of the gender ratio, and was often “brutally enforced through huge fines, and forced sterilizations and abortions.” Chinese couples will now be permitted to have two children. (Before doing that, prospective second-time parents might want to take a look at the home movies I’ve been uploading to YouTube.)
