This is a fairly new concept to me. I read a short article about it the other day, basically it's a place where women can anonymously drop off their newly born children if they do not wish to care for them. It's kind of a ethical purgatory between abortion and adoption.
What do you people think of a baby hatch? Is it saving lives by giving women the ability to see a pregnancy through risk-free instead of aborting? Or are there other ethical issues there that make this a less attractive option than if it didn't exist?
