dc.description.abstract | The term gendercide was first coined in 1985 and refers to the deliberate extermination of persons of a particular sex. The notion and its potential consequences had been conceived as far back as 1793, when the Marquis Nicolas de Condorcet had speculated “what might be [the effect] on humankind [of] the discovery of a means of producing a male or female child according to the will of the parents [...]. Supposing that this is likely to become a common practice, [...] would it [not] lead to [changes] in the social relations of human beings, whose consequences could be harmful to the peaceable development of that indefinite perfectibility with expectations of which we have flattered humankind?” | en_GB |
