標題: | Saving unwanted children: a proposal for a National Rearing Institute | 作者: | MING-JUI YEH | 關鍵字: | Adoption; Childcare; Convention on the rights of the child (CRC); Population policy; Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) | 公開日期: | 3-五月-2023 | 來源出版物: | Theoretical medicine and bioethics | 摘要: | Unwanted children are carried, born, and reluctantly raised each year; they are prone to abortion, abandonment, neglect, and abuse. Meanwhile, many developed societies are suffering from depopulation. To address these two issues concurrently, I propose that governments should grant pregnant women and mothers an irreversible and unconditional one-time chance to relinquish all their legal rights and obligations associated with each of their children under a specific age to a National Rearing Institute that adopts the children and rears them to the age when they can fully exercise their rights as adult citizens. I call this set of policy arrangements "Project New Republicans." This project aims to (1) protect and support the best interests of unwanted children, (2) maximize the health outcomes of the mothers who gave birth to these children and help the mothers to achieve self-realization, and (3) preserve an influx to the population from procreation against depopulation. The project is primarily grounded on both the utilitarian and intra- / inter-generational accounts of justice. It also ameliorates the oppression and domination of women by unjust social structures in alignment with the human rights-based approach. |
