TOKYO - A Japanese hospital opened the country's only anonymous drop box for unwanted infants Thursday despite government admonitions against abandoning babies.
The baby drop-off, called "Crane's Cradle," was opened by the Catholic-run Jikei Hospital in the southern city of Kumamoto as a way to discourage abortions and the abandonment of infants in unsafe public places. The hospital described it as a parent's last resort.

A small hatch on the side of the hospital allows people to drop off babies in an incubator 24 hours a day, while an alarm will notify hospital staff of the new arrival. The infants will initially be cared for by the hospital and then put up for adoption.

"In principle, parents should not abandon their babies anonymously," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters Thursday. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki meanwhile said it was "fundamental for parents to raise their children with their own hands."
Similar baby drops exist in Germany and South Africa. Some U.S. states, such as Alabama and Minnesota, also have programs protecting identities of women who give up their babies.

I think Malaysia should put this in hospitals so those who wants to abandon their children couldn't do it in trash cans.

It has nothing to do with birth rate, it is about saving innocent lives.

Instead of throwing unwanted babies here and there and leave them to die in such a horrible way, leaving them in the box will ensure that they have someone to take care of them.

this is good

it is good to taking care of the baby,
but it is also important to educate people not to avoid their resposibility,

it's better to advocate safe sex... or abstinence ... or family planning...

If this Baby Box phenomenon becomes widespread, I expect that there will be statistics on which country has the most unwanted babies in the future...
