Baby is a blank cheque made payable to the human race

Well someone said that “Baby is a blank cheque made payable to the human race”. Don’t you think it is so true? Two side of the coin are never the same. Japan and a few other European countries facing low birth rates and government offering incentives to have more babies countries like China and India are campaigning against it. We will in the age of cloning and where stem cell research has a lot of answers and solutions to life threatening illness. But can we ever predict nature and disobey the laws of nature? Karma catches up pretty fast.
Aftermath of natural calamities are sometime more powerful and longstanding than manmade calamities like Hiroshima bomb-drop, Bhopal gas tragedy. Japan still pays a heavy price with dwindling population and Africa and China suffers with uncared and unfed mouths. Two sides of a coin are always different!!

The recent earthquake in Pakistan and Kashmir very badly affected lives in every way. Casualties were on the rise and at one point they stopped counting. Today there are a ton of bodies trapped in the rubble and the surviving relatives and friends don’t know if their kith and kin escaped the tragedy. While this is something which media has portrayed well there are other stories that rock your heart upon reading.

I caught a story on NDTV last week that reported still born or unborn babies dead. Well this was the aftermath of the earth quake. A quake victim, a carrying mother had visited the nearby hospital for her regular check when the doctors found no life in the womb. The baby had perished due to the stress experienced physically, emotionally, and mentally. Initially doctors thought this was the only case, but other carrying women stopped by the hospitals to discover the fate of their unborn babies. Slowly over a month doctors have seen more than 40 such cases in the hospital. Those women who went to the hospital with hopes came back home as barren lands. May be a highway thief looted them?

Abortion an important sparky topic that decides who sits on the President’s chair in America and fuses religious fervor instigated by catholic churches was done by mother nature without the consent of the mothers and fathers. Nature was unkind to kill a generation of babies. The blank cheque was given to the human race but was snatched at an untimely hour.

Can religion ask their god's for an explanation for such a tyrannical act? May be these babies had very short karma cycles that they never lived to exhaust their karmas’ but rather exhausted them in their mother’s womb. Sometimes we all like to blame it on Karma when science and religion gives no reason and explanation.

Well science has a lot of answers to earthquakes and dead babies but science has no answers to karmic forces of nature? It may explain it but can never prevent it. We will always lose to nature, that is the dictum.
