Hospital held baby hostage

I find this hard to believe. I was looking at the BBC website this morning and I found this story.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4816152.stm

Basically, an israeli woman of arabic descent was pregnant with triplets. The father of the children was not an israeli citizen although the mother was. For this reason the hospital kept one of the babies to guarentee that bills would be paid because they were not sure that the israeli version of the NHS would pay the bill. The israeli government is considering how to punish the hospital.

Mad world.
