BABY DUMPING AMONG A TEENAGERS IN Malaysia
WHAT IS BABY DUMPING AND WHO ARE THE PERPETRATORS OF BABY DUMPING
An average of 100 babies are abandoned a year, based on reports filed with the police. Babies dumped in churches, mosques, temples, toilet bowls, rubbish dumps and abandoned. Mostly, babies are dumped by unwed mothers and under-aged girls who are young, naive, immature and frightened.The pregnant girls find themselves in a difficult situation. Most dump the babies for fear of being disowned by their families.Steps have to be taken to remedy this situation. So in this blog we will discuss about this issue, including research objective and research question.
NURUL AYUNI : So for our first objective is find out and explain meaning of baby dumping.
Baby dumping can be defined as rejecting and throwing a baby away immediately after birth and exposing it to danger and death. The definition is supported by the constitution, which demands respect for the right to life, right for children to be care for by their parents and the right to human dignity.

NOR AMALIZA : In my opinion baby dumping also can be defined as a throwing their baby after birth at garbage, toilet, river or someplace like that which can give effect and risk to that baby. At 20 March 2011 at 09:23 , BABY DUMPING said...
FATMALAILI : Good opinion ayuni and amaliza. I think all of us already understand about meaning of baby dumping and it’s better if all of us continue with our second objective. At 20 March 2011 at 09:26 , BABY DUMPING said...
SYAHMI : I agree with you fatmalaili. As ayuni said before, an average of 100 babies are abandoned a year, based on reports filed with the police. I cant believe that and it was very embarrassing. What about the number disposed of without a trace? It also does not take into account the number of abortions in private clinics. However, this year, I've seen on television and newspaper that baby dumping has somehow become acceptable by

    The Orphan Train Summary

    A lot of children become orphans because their parents give birth to them accidentally. In recent years, I have heard of a lot of such cases. I remember that there was one last week: after a woman had given birth to a baby, she put it into a plastic bag and left it in a rubbish bin. When the baby was discovered by people afterwards, it had already died. I wonder if the baby was saved, it would be another orphan. I believe that if people would like to give birth to a baby, they have to take up their responsibilities of taking care of the baby…

    Surrogates hope to provide a family to others. Being that, surrogate Diksha expects appreciation for bringing happiness to the client’s family. However, after Diksha’s delivery of the baby, the clients never contacted Diksha and cut off ties between her and the baby, perhaps fearing the surrogate’s attempt to reclaim the child. The clients’ reaction after Dikasha’s delivery damaged her pride. International surrogacy, in this case, is non-beneficent because it takes away from the surrogate’s wish to help another family. Additionally, it is maleficent because it harms the surrogate’s dignity. Surrogate Tajal was anguished because her client family did not even come to see her after her delivery (Pande 183-186). Their reaction made Tajal feel unappreciated. Both surrogates wanted to feel respected for their actions. Yet, to the clients, the surrogate was a business partner that they paid to deliver their baby. Therefore, the clients do not feel appreciative for the surrogates, deviating from the surrogate’s expectations. Thus, commercial surrogacy damages a surrogate’s dignity and takes away her desires to help others, making surrogacy non-beneficent and…

    The majority of parents claim to select gender solely for the reason of sex linked illnesses. Although this might be true in some countries, others are abusing this knowledge to select gender for non-medical reasons. For instance, in countries such as China, where men carry the ancestral line, the families prefer boys instead of girls. Girl fetuses are often aborted after finding out the sex through an ultra sound. Yet, with the newer technology of IVF and PGD, it permits an easier way of gender selection. After PGD, the desired gender embryo is implanted in the woman’s uterus (Gender). However, by not even giving female embryos a chance, it is promoting sex discrimination and cultivating a gender imbalanced society. In China, there are approximately 62 million “missing” women and girls due to sex selective procedures (Hvistendahl). As the population of the female decreases the male population skyrockets. This all results in kidnapping and female trafficking, who are later sold as brides to men (Gender). Dr. Nisker, a PGD pioneer, presumed that sex selection or PGD would be used mostly by infertile couples. He states, “Fifty-eight percent of the calls were from fertile couples. I never thought for one minute this would be used by fertile couples”. Unlike what he had thought, he found the facts to be shocking (Gonda). The practice of gender selection for nonmedical purposes is unethical…

    Pros And Cons Of Safe Havens

    Part of a parent's responsibility is to meet the basic needs of a child, including food, shelter, cloth them, and access to medical care. These laws also hurt more than they help by actually encouraging women to abandon their babies. You just may as well call safe havens just as others may have called it a “baby dump”. At one point in time it was illegal for parent who abandons a child can be charged with child neglect, abandonment, or child abuse. Now under the safe haven or “baby Moses” law, criminal accountability is no longer an issue and claims to be an alternative to child abandonment if the child is brought to a location within a set time…

    Soon Rollin began to explore how feminist found the true answer to women and their purpose in life, and that wasn’t for making babies. Evolution and technology has opened our eyes and showed us that even though we can have babies doesn’t mean we should, “unfortunately, the population curbers are tripped up by the romantic stubborn ideological hurdle”, (148). What Rollin means is that even with proper data and tools women are still popping out babies left and right. So what does this mean for the rest of the overpopulated world? More…

    Many children abandoned by their mothers are most often addicted to drugs. The mothers can’t afford to raise a child and afford their addiction, so they make the decision to let someone else take care of their child. “One reason why a mother may not be able to make sound decisions for her child is because she is addicted to drugs. The American Council for Drug Education states that drug addiction harms the baby and the decisions the mother makes before, during and after birth.”(1) Another reason is quite simple. It was an unwanted pregnancy and the parents didn’t want the child. The most common of this scenario is teenage pregnancy. The teenagers are too scared to get an abortion and too scared to inform their parents so instead, they hide the pregnancy as weight gain to the parents. Then when the birth occurs it is most often left in a bathroom trash can or even worse, thrown in a dumpster. But sometimes they care enough to leave them somewhere to be found and taken somewhere safe, like foster…

    Infanticide

    • 2022 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Despite the clear prohibitions against child-murder by all major religions, female infanticide has been for centuries a prominent and socially acceptable event, notably in one of the most populous countries in this world, India. Even today, the extent of the problem is measured in alarming proportions all around the globe: "at least 60 million females in Asia are missing and feared dead, victims of nothing more than their sex. Worldwide, research suggests, the number of missing females may top 100 million." The data is more astounding in India. According to the Census Report of 2001, for every 1000 males the number of females has decreased to 927 in 2001 from 945 in 1991 and continues to decrease. It is clear that the burdensome costs involved with the raising of a girl, eventually providing her an appropriate marriage dowry, was the single most important factor in allowing social acceptance of the murder at birth in India. Nonetheless, in addition to the dowry system, the reasons for this increasing trend have also been attributed to the patriarchal society, poverty and the availability of sex-selective abortion.…
