England gene sequencing 100,000 babies for rare diseases; NYT reports on China pronatalism; Netherlands: richer having more babies; South Korea fertility bump; the case for family-based biobanks
BTW, the NYT coverage of Chinese reproduction policies is, as usual, wildly skewed and culturally blind, deaf and dumb. Babies, like most things in China, are everybody's business. It's quite common to see older Chinese mothers take infants from strangers's arms, adjust their clothing, burp the, or whatever, then replace them with a few words of advice.
After living together for 4000 years, they're all relatives anyway.
Excellent roundup. Many thanks!
