Baby Hatch

Today I would like to talk about baby hatch.

Baby hatch is where you adopt baby if you can not take care of the baby anymore. Recently, the number of people who leave babies somewhere is increasing. Instead of just leaving the baby somewhere and let them die, people thought that if there is somewhere safe to put the baby it is better than dying.
However some people think this is not a good idea.


Letter One

This woman said that baby hatch is not the answer.

She have worked with children and families for more than 20 years. She understands how much children get sad when they are away from their family. It doesn't matter how old they are, it is too shocking for children to be away from their family. If we have baby hatch a lot of parents will put their child in it. That's why she thinks baby hatch is not the answer for saving children.

Letter Two

This woman said that baby hatch is maybe not the right thing to do but it is one way to save the child.
She gave an example of a couple who were in junior high school and had a baby.The couple got scared and they abandoned the baby nearby the temple and the baby died.
She says, if there were a place like Jikei hospital's baby hatch, maybe those couple would have been put the baby in there and the baby wouldn't have died.


I agree to the woman who wrote letter two.
As she said, I don't think that baby hatch is the best thing to do. However, if the baby is going to die, then it is better to put them in the baby hatch and let them be in a safe place. If they live with their parents who thought about abanding their children, maybe they will get abused.
I don't understand why parents abandon their child. Its their child and they should love them. If they don't want children they shouldn't be making children. It is just so cruel to do that. Baby's are human, not a little creature.
