520			_a"The Incubator Baby" by Ellis Parker Butler is a satirical short story written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of parenting and societal beliefs surrounding infant care during the time, focusing particularly on the challenges of raising a child in a scientifically controlled environment. Through humor and critique, it reflects on the contrast between traditional care and the emerging medical interventions of the day. The story follows Marjorie Fielding, an incubator baby born prematurely, who becomes an experiment in modern infant care as she is monitored meticulously by her parents and caregivers. Initially sheltered in an incubator, Marjorie navigates both the warmth of motherly love and the cold calculations of scientific motherhood. As she grows, her desire for genuine affection clashes with the strict, statistical approach her mother adopts—often leading to comical and poignant moments. Ultimately, Marjorie reveals her innate need for care and emotional connection, leading to a heartwarming conclusion where the importance of love and human warmth triumphs over rigid scientific methods.
