Is that something like the "Win a Baby" competition?

(Stupid, stupid name)

A Canadian radio station has caused shock by announcing a competition in which contestants will compete for the chance to win a baby. The event is even being promoted by an advert featuring a baby holding up a sign saying 'Win me!'
The winner of Hot 89.9's competition will receive three rounds of IVF treatment free of charge. Hot 89.9 claims that the retail value of the 'prize' is approximately $35,000 CAD. To win, the contestants must write a short, 100-word paragraph explaining why they want a child, and a panel of judges will decide which is the most convincing.
This new contest comes soon after the controversial 'IVF Lottery' planned by UK fertility charity To Hatch was publicly denounced by various organisations, as discussed in a comment piece in BioNews 619. Much the same has happened with this latest announcement in Canada, with Jim Hughes, president of Campaign Life Coalition, Canada's national pro-life organisation, labelling the stunt as 'appalling'.

This is crazy. It seems that it would open doors to folks that might do IVF for the hell of it if it's free or folks that maybe should not be doing IVF, I don't know, seems sketchy as hell.
 
In regards to the Canadian radio show post, in which I should've quoted but I've already started typing so what the hell;I think that there is a lot of crazy shit in the world.
