        背景介绍:
        2014年3月16日,广州弃婴安全岛因“不堪重负”宣布暂停运行。自启动至暂停当日的近50天时间内,广州安全岛共接收弃婴262名。2011年6月,河北省石家庄市社会福利院在全国设立首个安全岛。目前,内地共建立了25个弃婴安全岛。据调查,安全岛接收的弃婴绝大部分患有不同种类的残疾或疾病,广州安全岛试点期间接收的弃婴均患有某种疾病,排前三位的是脑性瘫痪、唐氏综合症与先天性心脏病。那么,弃婴安全岛,要还是不要?
        正方:弃婴安全岛是个好东西,是国家对儿童的关爱与保护。偷尝禁果的未婚男女生了孩子没有经济能力抚养;夫妇生了残障或重度疾病的孩子,自己抚养负担不起昂贵的医护费用。无论婴儿的父母首先如何不堪,但孩子总是无辜的,国家与社会有责任有义务伸出援助之手、献出爱心。中国的弃婴安全岛是各地社会福利院兴办的,是惠泽儿童的福利,希望越办越多、越办越好。
        正方:就是国家重新恢复强制婚检,有缺陷新生儿出生率也不可能降到零吧?与社会福利机构对接的弃婴安全岛之类的儿童福利仍是需要的吧?首先,这是一种人道主义,是高度文明的体现。更进一步,我们应该把安全岛看成儿童的一项当然权利,既然是权利,国家与社会有义务保障之。中国的各级政府每到年底就突击花钱,这些钱节省出一小部分,就足够安全岛项目了。
        正方:弃婴安全岛也是国际惯例,可以有效地维护弃婴的生命权益。如果没有安全岛,被抛弃的婴儿就可能冻死饿死甚至被野生动物咬伤咬死;或者会诱发生父生母溺杀婴儿的行为。毕竟弃婴在总量与比例上不会很多,社会一般能承受得起。即使你不承认抛弃婴儿的父母是弱势群体,那弃婴总是弱势群体吧。社会总不能忍心弃婴的生命安全受到威胁吧,人心都是肉长的。
        反方:广州弃婴安全岛在试点期间接收的弃婴均患有不同程度的疾病。这分明是取消了强制婚检之后的恶果之体现。自取消强制婚检之后,中国有缺陷新生儿出生率连年上升。像唐氏综合症,孕妇在怀孕阶段就应该筛查的。小清新们认为强制婚检“侵犯人权与隐私”,政府在呼吁下取消了;结果有缺陷新生儿多了,小清新们于是又呼吁弃婴安全岛,真是永远正确的典型。
        反方:人道主义啊,文明啊,权利啊,都是高端大气上档次的大词儿。不过,最根本的问题是:谁来付费?谁来埋单?自负其责难道就这么难吗?你生了有残疾的孩子,纳税人会出钱替你养,那你就不负责任地生啰,反正有别人来兜底。纳税人并没有过错,凭什么要他们来承受本来属于你的责任?生孩子前就应该综合考虑收益与风险,自己的风险凭什么要别人来担?
        反方:为什么你总能很轻松地免除了弃婴生父母的责任呢?没有意愿与能力承担生养孩子的各种风险,有什么资格生孩子?许多人大叹医疗费用昂贵,说什么生了一场大病后一个家庭就因病返贫了,由此呼吁大病医保。问题是,你自己都不愿意倾家荡产来治病,你又要钱又要命,纳税人凭什么当冤大头给你出钱治病啊?别人的钱就是大风刮来的?还真有脸喊这么高。
        【点评者说】要一个社会所有人自负其责很难啊。要是所有人能自负其责,那就好了,就没有必要搞强制婚检与弃婴安全岛。因为每一个自负其责的理性人,都在结婚生子之前全面权衡了所有的利益、成本与风险,并对可能的风险有预防与管控,当风险成为现实后,也能各人的十字架各人背。既然有很多人不能自负其责,那强制婚检要恢复,安全岛也可适度搞。
        话题:
        Your opinion after reading the material above.
        范例1:
        It seems to be an increasingly widespread concern that a number of babies are abandoned into welfare homes and "safe haven" stations. In order to solve the problem, in other words, to let babies have more opportunities to survive, “safe haven” stations’ intervention can make a difference. More importantly, the “safe haven” station should not only function as an organization, but take a larger social responsibility. The station can provide a warm and cozy shelter for those babies who are abandoned. Besides, those parents who should shoulder all costs of their children. After all, if the society undertook responsible for all babies, taxpayers would be asked to pay more money for these abandoned babies.
        范例2:
        With the one in Guangzhou temporarily closed just roughly 50 days after its opening, a result of overload as the authorities explain, baby hatch, which may be unfamiliar to most citizens, is being riveted to the whole society, and inevitably heats up a debate.
        Supporters optimistically see the baby safety island as a reflection of advanced cultivation. Those abandoned babies are innocent and the baby hatches are surely symbols of love from the whole society, for, at lease, the costs are paid by taxpayers. On the other hand,opponents mainly blame the parents of those abandoned babies, not only for their ignorance of premarital checkup, but also for their rashness of marriage, not considering their eligibility of raising an infant. They strongly hold that it is unreasonable for taxpayers to take the responsibilities of these outliers.
        As the editor concludes, it is difficult for everybody of the society to take the corresponding duty—the parents of the abandoned babies taking the responsibility of being parents, the taxpayers taking the responsibility of being social entity, therefore, we should all concede to setup a system that supervises all of us. In this case, premarital checkup should be taken back, and also, the baby hatch is a necessity.
        范例3:
        No consensus has been made towards the necessity of safe havens for abandoned babies. Many people concern that setting up areas for parents to surrender children is likely to encourage immoral conduct and even lead to an increase in children abandonment. But as far as I am concerned, it at least provides a safe alternative to child abandonment in dangerous public areas, since several cases have happened recently in which infants died after being abandoned in unsafe public places. We have the responsibility to protect abandoned children’s rights and the establishment of safe havens for them is vital to protect innocent children. Therefore, although facing surging pressures for accepting new abandon babies, closing safe havens before a better relief way is found to be nothing but refusing to rescue lives.
