[quote=JIMMYB,513641]The safe haven has become one of the most popular words in 2013. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has launched a trial in some major cities of mainland China. The safe havens have been built in these cities for those abandoned infants in order to guarantee their right to live. However, it has aroused discontent among the public. Some people believe that safe haven will encourage more and more parents to abandon their children. According to the report, the safe haven in Nanjing has received more and more abandoned infants. Most of them suffer from serious illnesses. Probably, that’s why their parents abandon them because they can’t afford to cure them. In China, those parents who abandon their children have already committed a crime because such a behavior is against the Chinese law. However, I have heard that there are safe haven laws in the world. Such laws allow the parents to drop their babies at certain location namelessly. Of course, they won’t be charged. The existence of the safe haven laws is to guarantee the abandoned children’s right to live. Do you think it’s a good idea to build safe havens? [/quote]
