Default Re: Japan has drop box for unwanted babies

i believe something similar has been tested in some belgian city ... it could be that it's still going on ... i should check. if i remember correctly it's an unattended room in a hospital where you can leave the baby safely and anonymously.

i really don't think those 'drop boxes' will encourage more people to abandon their babies; just that those who were planning it will have a safer way to do so. so i don't have anything against it so far.
