  1. I saw a TV report that was truly intriguing and after a quick internet search found that several countries have anonymous drop off boxes for mothers to drop off unwanted babies. The Unwanted baby drop boxes in Germany are pretty neat. The drop off box opens to the outside and looks like a package size mailbox. Babyklappe video here. When the door closes a heat lamp comes on and an alarm goes off inside the hospital so the medical staff can retrieve the baby. It seems organized and humane except for the abandoning part. Similar baby collection systems have been implemented in Russia and South Korea. In the US mothers can drop babies off at hospitals, police stations and fire stations depending on the state of residence. The UN has criticized this practice which seems odd, Isn't their philosophy "It takes a village to raise a child" as drawn from a ancient African proverb. This brings a lot of thoughts to mind. Is this just an optimization of a practice that has been accepted worldwide for a long time? Has society become too disposable and Self-centered? Do we do the same with seniors? Is this a good alternative to abortion therefore protecting the sanctity of life? Is this a result of socialized healthcare systems? What are your thoughts?
