BABY HATCH

Jikei Hospital in Kumamoto opened first baby hatch on May 10th. This hatch is called konotori no yurikago, which is effectively an incubator with access from outside and inside the facility. And this baby hatch allows people to anonymously leave babies. The reason why Taiji Hasuda, the president of the hospital ,opened the baby hatch is that he think what is the most important is to save the lives of babies. But this system has various opinimons. For example, people think that those who abandon thier babies can be increased.But this system is not only to save babies' life but it gives a chance to think about abondonment.
