Babies for sale....girls half price

SHANGHAI - Police are investigating advertisements offering babies for sale on a Chinese website owned by internet auction house eBay. The ads, which appeared on the eBay EachNet site on October 16, promised babies under 100 days old from the impoverished province of Henan at prices of 28,000 yuan ($5000) for boys and 13,000 yuan for girls, the China Daily reported. More than 50 people looked at the baby auction but no "purchases" were made before it was removed. The sale of children and women is a problem in China, where rules on family planning allow couples to just have one child, at least in cities.
