A short video from Mainland China has gone viral on the Internet recently. The content is that a Douyin blogger from Chibi City, Hubei Province claimed that she successfully gave birth to a child with her husband who was in a vegetative state with the help of “test tube baby” technology. Now she is responsible for taking care of her husband, and her daughter takes care of her younger brother. It triggered heated discussions among netizens. The local hospital confirmed that the information posted by the blogger was true; a staff member of Bi City Women’s Federation stated that the local subdistrict office and other relevant departments had provided assistance to the family and enjoyed subsistence allowances.
“Chinese Business Daily” reported that the account to which the video belongs is a woman from Chibi, Hubei. The homepage shows 347 works, mainly about her daily life of taking care of her husband who is in a vegetative state. The blogger said that her husband suffered brain damage due to an accident 4 years ago and is living like a vegetative state. His profile also stated that “(the husband) can’t speak now, has incontinence of urine and feces, and is completely limp… He takes good care of him, just for My husband can get better soon.”
In April this year, the blogger announced that she and her husband had undergone in vitro fertilization and that she was currently 3 months pregnant. This move was to give her daughter an extra companion, and to change the living conditions of the whole family and bring some benefits to the family. Laughing and talking, I also hope that this may wake up my husband to have more hopes and sustenance in life, “I want to have one more child to make me happy.” On September 5, the blogger announced that he had finally unloaded the goods and had given birth to a son.
Recently, the blogger released a video saying that she takes care of her husband and her daughter takes care of her young son. The video shows that the husband in a wheelchair is soaking his feet, while the daughter, who looks like a junior high school student, is reading a book and holding her sleeping baby brother. Many netizens questioned that the blogger’s move favored sons over daughters. “My daughter is too tired to be pitiful,” and “I don’t understand why I want to have a second child? If I have this money, I might as well raise my daughter well.”
In this regard, the medical staff of the Rehabilitation Department of Pufang Hospital in Chibi City confirmed that the patient had been admitted before, but the patient had not been to the hospital for a long time. According to his knowledge, the patient’s wife had given birth to a child through in vitro fertilization technology. Staff from the Chibi City Women’s Federation responded that the local subdistrict office, civil affairs and Disabled Persons’ Federation and other departments have been paying attention to helping the family, and have provided the family with subsistence allowances and corresponding benefits. Regarding IVF and other situations, the staff said they did not understand and did not respond.
