A Japanese hospital recently opened the only anonymous drop off box for unwanted babies. The drop-off box is a small hatch on the side of the hospital, equipped with an incubator that runs 24 hours a day. When an infant is placed in the device an alarm will sound to notify staff of the babies arrival. This device was created in response to the high number of infant abandonment cases, where babies have been left in public places.
- I think this is a great idea and there are similar devices in Germany and South Africa, as well as some U.S. States (Alabama and Minnesota). I think it's a great alternative to abortion and abandonment.
