Parents reject girl newborn, say they'll take a boy instead

4/2/2012

In a ghastly gender-biased move, a couple in India is refusing to accept their newborn baby girl after staff at the hospital accidentally handed the mother a baby boy. Poonam Kanwar and her husband won't accept results of a blood test that indicates the female child is theirs, and they demand a DNA test as they fight the baby boy's likely real parents for custody. Kanwar has offered to breastfeed the girl infant but isn't allowed to unless she and her husband claim the child as their own -- which they won't. Who's acting like a baby now?

What would you have done in this couple's situation?
