The midwife that killed infants – Part 4

This article is a continuation of ‘The midwife that killed infants – Part 3’.

For this reason she was sentenced to only 8 years in prison, while Takeshi, Dr. Nakayama and his assistant Masako Kishi received 4 years imprisonment for aiding in the murders. In 1952 the couple appealed their sentences and the Tokyo Superior Court revoked
his time in prison for half the official statement.

This incident allowed the Japanese government considers legalizing abortion because of the number of unwanted infants who were born in Japan. On July 13, 1948 created the "Law on Protection of the body of the mother" rule established in the first instance
the "National examination for midwives."

A year later, on June 24, 1949, the law of abortions for economic reasons was legalized under the supervision of the "Law on Protection from the body of the mother." It is clear that the atrocities committed by the murderous midwife brought a balance in
the system of Japanese laws and regulations.

The sentence of eight years’ imprisonment was reduced to four ridiculous, it is estimated that Miyuki left to die between 85 and 169 newborns, although the official figure is 103, this makes the serial killer with most victims of Japan . Miyuki was virtually
unpunished by the legal vacuum that existed in Japan, which did not consider the abandonment of a newborn as murder, only the direct killing was punished.
