China Doctor sold Babies

I felt absolutely disgusted even reading the title, let alone the article itself, but here we go...

A Chinese court has convicted a doctor of baby trafficking and sentenced her to death with a two-year reprieve, after she admitted in court that she stole babies from the hospital where she worked and sold them.

In China, suspended death sentences are usually commuted to life imprisonment after two years.

Well ultimately death is worse, so I'm not sure it could be considered worse or if it's even comparable really.

China has a bad record in term of childrens' rights, actually scrap that, human rights in general, I honestly can't say I'm surprised when I read this story.

If it was an Irish doctor who did that, people would be complaining that there was no death penalty for them.

I think the death penalty is good enough for her, a really wicked bitch
