Secret ‘baby farm’ that sells and swaps unwanted newborns uncovered
A HOSPITAL is persuading women who want to terminate their pregnancies to have the baby so it can sell them for $1839 to childless couples.
The shocking “baby farm” has been exposed at the 30-bed Palash Hospital in the Gwailor district of India. Two of the sold babies have since been rescued by police.
Prateek Kumar, from the ASP crime branch, told Times of India: “Three others have been sold to childless couples in Uttar Pradesh and Chattisgarh.”
Babies born out of rape or illicit relationships were being delivered at this hospital and sold for adoption, police said.
Hospital manager Arun Bhadoria was arrested and claimed agents in the Chambal region fetched girls with unwanted pregnancies. An investigation was launched when he could not give the whereabouts of two babies born in the hospital.
In total, five people have been charged with slavery offences.
An investigating officer told the Times of India: “When a girl or her parents approached them for a termination of pregnancies, doctors at this hospital used to convince them assuring a safe and secret delivery.
Teams are being dispatched to Chhattisgarh and UP to look for couples who bought babies from this hospital, said police.
Money really is the root of all evil :O(
This is a criminal act, isn't it?
Oh, well... Personally I don't see an issue with selling babies (as long as the buyers are checked), but if it's against the law then it's against the law.
An abortion would've probably been better. We need to stop overpopulation and shiz.
One day we will be able to correct all our mistakes so that nobody including WT will ever find fault with us humans .....................
WT, I salute you on the behalf of all right thinking QLers who have logged in today ............... You have pin pointed the culprit ............. very nice ...............
"Money really is the root of all evil." No, humans are the root of all evil! - Money does nothing.
It is clear that hospital has been in the business of buying and selling babies. It is not only unethical but criminal act too.....
Omar: this is the whole point.. Why would you "sell" a child with the knowledge that some buyers may have bad intentions...
Yes, morally selling is better than killing. Obviously some buyers will have bad intentions, bad you cannot end a child's life because of that
omar: What happens if there are not enough parents of the number of children ?
Also, the key issue is "selling" .... do you think thats morally justifiable
Saving a child is much better than abortion, at least the child is alive and in the hands of those who want to care for them.
Although it could be done in a better way, I applaud them
