Though I wish this article gave more details, and described cultural implications, it is certainly an interesting look at a mother’s love. In discussing cultural relativism during this weeks class period, I am anxious to re-evaluate my initial thought of heinous disgust and dismissal. I, instead (though not justifying the death of a child) indite the culture in which this mother is expected to raise her child, with the charge of enforcing norms that make it acceptable to disregard and discriminate against individuals on the basis of genitalia measurements.
