What the HELL Japan?!



Got a baby you dont want in Japan? Just drive to your local hospital and open the anonymous hatch and drop your baby you dont want anymore into the hatch where it slides into an incubator. Then a bell dings inside the hospital and someone picks up the baby you didnt want. This is CRAZY i think. It is such an odd thing and so Japanese. This country really does a lot of things that frustrate me. Click on the title and read it! Post your comments!

Minnesota has a similar process-minus the hatch. Unwanted babies can be dropped off at any hospital with no questions asked (within 3 days of birth I believe). People still leave unwanted babies elsewhere.

Still, think of all the ones left in toilets or garbage bins in this country, that would have preferred a slide into an incubator.

HOW can people do that? Just leave a kid...sure life gets tough, but just drop them. Wouldn't they want the assurance that someone is there to care for the kid? Nii-san, i hope you never come to even thinking about aborting a child. Granted, there are two sides to every coin, but in abortion you can't draw a line what separates good from bad.
