I'm not terribly sure of the details of it, but China's one child policy isn't something I've thought particularly hard about. This blurb one from of Sullivan's guest bloggers got me thinking, though. There's a huge effect that siblings have on us, from social to biological to everything in between. How weird is it that there's an entire country out there -- one with a billion people and the second largest economy -- where most boys won't know what it is like to get beat up by an older brother? [please insert your favorite sibling rivalry stereotype here]
To say this is unnatural is to underplay it -- it is insane! I mean, I know there's a good reason for the policy, but I just can't comprehend what sort of long-term effect this will have on a pretty darn insular population.
