What the experience of Italian nuns with windows of life teaches

Some people dream in vain of having a baby for years, but they are not helped by medicine or conspiracy to get pregnant. And some miracle of childbearing seems a real nightmare, which they try to avoid by any means.

You can argue and argue about what is the main problem of motherhood. But as a result, all the disputes will still come down to one thing - the main problem is the unpreparedness of the woman in labor for motherhood.



How do we solve this problem and what do the authorities offer to women for whom the birth of a child has become a real tragedy? That's what the editorial board is about. "Site" And he'll tell you today.

There are many cases when woeful mothers who are not ready to accept such a gift of fate as a child, simply left it to their fate. It is not so scary when the child remains in the hospital under the supervision of doctors, which can not be said about newborns abandoned simply in the open air.



To avoid situations where a confused new mother simply gets rid of a child, the government has begun installing so-called "baby boxes" or "windows of life" where a woman can anonymously abandon a child, leaving it in safe conditions without risking the baby's life.



Such windows are opened at medical institutions. In the box, where the baby is placed, a comfortable temperature and oxygen flow are constantly maintained. A woman has no more than 30 seconds to make a decision. Half a minute after the child is placed in the box, the window is blocked and the child is officially transferred to the care of health workers.



Not everyone supports the idea of opening these windows. The main arguments of the protesters are that due to anonymity, the mother will not be able to return the child to herself, realizing the mistake.



“In addition, anonymity makes it impossible to offer assistance to the mother. Not everyone decides to take this step because they want to get rid of the child. Some are simply in a crisis situation, from which they cannot find another way out on their own, the psychologists note.



On the other hand, baby boxes regularly save the lives of dozens of babies. And this is exactly the function for which they were originally invented. Can anything reduce the value of this function?
