For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box of baby clothes and bedding by the state. Some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates.

    Sounds like a good idea.

    So Finnish boys spend the first year of their lives trying to get out of the box...and the rest of their lives trying to get right back in.

    I read this story recently and was quite impressed. Not sure my partner would agree to it though!

    The is a good idea others can adopt. Now letting your baby sleep out in the cold, that's something that I don't think anyone else will be adopting anytime soon.

    Bunch of socialist bastards. Why can't poor women just go to safeway and beg for a Sunkist box. They're just coddling these women instead of making then stand on their own two feet.

    It's good to see you've developed a capitalist mindset Andy

    When they get older, I hear that they get a lot of Lapp dancing.
