offspring. Infanticide was a widespread practice throughout human history that was mainly used to dispose of unwanted children,<sup id="cite_ref-InfAnAn_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-InfAnAn-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 61">: 61 </span></sup> its main purpose being the prevention of resources being spent on weak or disabled offspring. Unwanted infants were usually abandoned to die of exposure, but in some societies they were deliberately killed. Infanticide is generally illegal, but in some places the practice is tolerated, or the prohibition is not strictly enforced. </p><p>Most <a href="/wiki/Stone_Age" title="Stone Age">Stone Age</a> human societies routinely practiced infanticide, and estimates of children killed by infanticide in the <a href="/wiki/Mesolithic" title="Mesolithic">Mesolithic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Neolithic" title="Neolithic">Neolithic</a> eras vary from 15 to 50 percent. Infanticide continued to be common in most societies after the historical era began, including <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greece" title="Ancient Greece">ancient Greece</a>, <a href="/wiki/Roman_Empire" title="Roman Empire">ancient Rome</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Phoenicians" class="mw-redirect" title="Phoenicians">Phoenicians</a>, ancient <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a>, ancient <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pre-Islamic_Arabia" title="Pre-Islamic Arabia">Pre-Islamic Arabia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Aboriginal_Australians" title="Aboriginal Australians">Aboriginal Australia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas" title="Indigenous peoples of the Americas">Native Americans</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Native_Alaskan" class="mw-redirect" title="Native Alaskan">Native Alaskans</a>. </p><p>Infanticide became forbidden in <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Near_East" title="Near East">Near East</a> during the 1st millennium. <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a> forbade infanticide from its earliest times, which led <a href="/wiki/Constantine_the_Great" title="Constantine the Great">Constantine the Great</a> and <a href="/wiki/Valentinian_I" title="Valentinian I">Valentinian I</a> to ban infanticide across the Roman Empire in the 4th century. The practice ceased in <a href="/wiki/Arabia" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabia">Arabia</a> in the 7th century after the founding of <a href="/wiki/Islam" title="Islam">Islam</a>, since the <a href="/wiki/Quran" title="Quran">Quran</a> prohibits infanticide.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

They respond readily to kindness and are in every way satisfactory from a professional point of view. Not infrequently simply good feeding and plenty of oxygen will work the most marvelous cures. Permission is almost invariably asked to remain with the child in the hospital, and it is far better to grant the request, since, after a few days when all is well and the child is happy, the adult will gladly enough withdraw. Meanwhile, much has been gained. Whereas the effort to argue parents into leaving a child at once and the difficulty of winning the frightened child are enormous. The Chinese infant usually has a pretty good start in life.
