Recently, the news of Sayuri, a broadcaster, was a big topic.

It was news that I became a mother.

Pregnancy and childbirth of celebrities is quite common news, so why did it become a hot topic?

She had one difference.

It was a sperm donation in their native Japan to give birth without a spouse.

Although it is not impossible under the current law in Korean society, it is practically difficult because many hospitals generally reject it.

Sayuri said that he initially wanted sperm donation and in vitro procedures in Korea, but all hospitals refused because of internal ethics guidelines, which turned out to be true.



Anyway, she announced this through social media, and soon received support and support from over 50,000 people.

Is it simply because she made a'courageous confession'?

It won't.

There must have been a number of reasons.

First, I have been saying that being a mother was the most important wish in my life.

Second, natural pregnancy was a difficult age and physical condition, that is, a situation where there was not much time, and third, it was a firm subjectivity that he could not marry urgently by meeting a man he did not love just to have children.

It must have been a choice made with sufficient consideration in her position and situation.

In addition, the reason that even the netizens who are struggling with disputation could send a gaze of support rather than concern to her, the environmental resources she possessed as a mother would have had considerable influence.

Such things as thoughtful attitude, character, and sufficient economic conditions, which have been consistently demonstrated for over 10 years.

Is it because of these various circumstances?

The news of her birth went beyond just a wave of congratulations to a celebrity, and spread to society and politics.

It has come to rethink our society's fundamental perspective on unmarried birth and single-parent families.

It must have been the flint that lit up the discourse on the right to form the family again.



What is a'normal home'?

'Isn't one caregiver who is fully prepared than an unprepared mother and father is healthier for children?'

Some people raise the fundamental question of that.

Among OECD countries, some say that Korea is the only country in which sperm banking is not active, and it is said that women's voluntary right to make family members.

However, the opinion that it is to overthrow the existing social perceptions about the family, and that the wounds in the child's rights and growth process are neglected choices are not easy.

How about me?

It is true that we are still contemplating'which is the best'.



In particular, I remembered that many of the young clients I met at the counseling site, about 32% or more, said that they were mentally injured due to'the gaze of others'.

In this Korean society, it is true that we are worried about whether these children will be able to live without being hurt or whether they will be able to grow up in an emotionally safe gaze.

Nevertheless, it is certainly a positive opportunity to open a forum for discussing these opinions.

It has become a public forum for members of society to debate and consensus on various prejudices and gazes that prevailed in our society, unprepared social parenting environment, and'rights'.



However, there is a real worry.

After the public opinion is formed, that is the response seen in the political world.

Congratulating Sayuri's individual childbirth at the political party level and discussing legal amendment or system improvement on this is a somewhat worrisome situation.

If system improvement or law amendments are discussed and initiated by a broadcaster from overseas, many citizens who have spoken about the right to unmarried birth, or those who have complained of various difficulties in life after unmarried birth, may feel collapsed.

It is not a healthy aspect that'Viral Once' through the media will bring greater change than the opinions and voices of policy participation that citizens have expressed for a long time.

It is also true that there are many misunderstandings that the'*** law' has been created only when there is always a big event or a big issue.



After all, what we need is not the'bill itself' that is quickly created when an issue is ignited.

In order not to have so many side effects and so many children who hurt their hearts at once, it is important to look at how our society will accept them and how maturity is being achieved.

I hope that something will not be made in a hurry with the feeling of'Sayuri Law' as it is a society that is not ready because it has been shaken quickly.

Neither the people nor Sayuri himself would want it.

At the topic she threw, it is a matter to think about how our society will change.



What we need now is not quick legislation or institutional improvement, but sufficient deliberation?
