While someone may really feel "....an issue we have no interest in tackling..." What kind of heartless, cold, empty person would actually admit such a thing to the world?

The issue of the care of unwanted children, like you so well proved is quite a loaded and emotionally charged topic, and it's not something most people in polite company would like to discuss because it'd be very easy to get into an extremely heated argument about it. So for the sake of keeping the peace, and keeping relevant to the blog itself (since it is a tech blog, not one of human ethics), that's why the comment was made. It speaks of the blog, not the writer themselves.

I for one like the idea. If only we had something similar implanted in the US, we'd have far less cases of babies being abandoned in the cold, or worse, thrown in dumpsters.]]>Mar 1st 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/28/italy-intros-sensor-laden-foundling-wheels-to-care-for-abandoned/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/28/italy-intros-sensor-laden-foundling-wheels-to-care-for-abandoned/Mar 1st 2007 1:30PM
