Now I've Heard Everything

A hospital in Britain has banned parents and visitors from "cooing" at babies in the newborn section. Hospital officials feel that the practice denies the infants their basic human rights. Also prohibited is well wishers asking mothers about the condition of their babies.

Debbie Lawson, the goofy neonatal manager at Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax, West Yorkshire said "Cooing should be a thing of the past because these are little people with the same rights as you and me."

A few mothers and at lease one Member of Parliament have called the policy rubbish.

Those wacky British!
