Episode: South Korea looks to fix 'ghost baby' problem
Description: Authorities in South Korea are addressing an administrative loophole that has allowed for 2,000 undocumented infants, known as "ghost babies," to slip under the radar over an 8-year period.
They have been forced to act after public outcry over revelations that some of the babies died at birth. Measures are also being put in place to assist women with unplanned pregnancies.
