“唇裂”近段一直新闻不断。先是某论坛爆料小菲女是唇裂；日前，卧龙中国保护大熊猫研究中心的小熊猫崽竟也患有唇裂；连日来，一篇题为《引产日记》的帖子更是引爆各大知名网站社区，自称准妈妈的网友“爱上飞鸟的鱼521”决定引产，因为腹中的胎儿是唇裂。

请看《中国日报》相关新闻报道：A woman tagged "Bird Loving Fish 521" who posted a diary of her abortion¹ online has been strongly condemned² by netizens for terminating the six-month pregnancy³.

After consulting with her husband and parents, Fish decided⁴ to have an abortion after discovering through an ultra sound that the fetus⁵ had a harelip.

不管相关的八卦，不谈就此引发的道德争议，单看单词本身，“唇裂”很简单——harelip。Harelip（唇裂）是一种先天性疾病，指婴儿出生时上嘴唇有一个裂隙畸形，形同兔唇，故得名harelip（兔唇，唇裂）。另外，医学上，harelip常写做“cleft lip”或“cleft palate”。

在中国，“唇裂”亦俗称“豁嘴”，新生儿中发生率约为1：1000。
