Cooing Banned in England

From the BBC News 09/26/2005:

In September, to preserve "respect and dignity" for newborns, the neonatal unit of Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax, England, officially banned visitors' "cooing" at infants. Said hospital official Debbie Lawson, "Cooing should be a thing of the past because these are little people with the same rights as you or me." To illustrate the rule, officials displayed a doll holding a sign reading: "What makes you think I want to be looked at?"

So, now babies are requesting neglect. What makes me think they want to be looked at? Maybe it's the fact that I know that babies literally think the world revolves around them. Maybe it's the whole babies like attention thing. Maybe it's that infants thrive on human presence, especially when said human's attentions are focused on the infant. All of these are scientific facts, but God forbid science should take precedence over the mythical "rights" of infants. Wade, I want to apologize in advance for what I'm about to write:

ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME?

Here's an idea: How about maybe putting up curtains? Tint, maybe? Perhaps taking the glass out altogether and building a solid wall? I realize those suggestions make way too much sense and don't allow for the lawsuits and such, but I am a hopeless sense-maker. Besides, the kids will need something to blame their obstinacies on when they reach the age of consent.
