If this is the same story as reported on News 24 sometime this morning,
the full details aren't out yet. I wasn't paying full attention, but
the claim in that weblink is that the two babies haven't been visited
by the parents; the hospital has pointed out that they have made
several visits.

Not that a certain amount of sex selection doesn't go on here
unofficially.
