A Japanese hospital plans to set up a "baby hatch" allowing mothers to anonymously drop off their newborns so they can be put up for adoption. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6131744.stm)

That's a dumb idea.  How are women supposed to give birth, at home alone, with all the dangers that entails?  

It would be a better to have an anonymous childbirth service, so that teenage girls can check in, give birth, and give the baby up for adoption, all without revealing their real identities.
