Dolphin-Assisted Birth

Spiritual healer Dorina Rosin and her partner Maika Suneagle plan to have a "dolphin-assisted" water birth in the ocean, even though experts are warning that this poses many risks. For instance, there's the chance that a great white shark may show up. Also, dolphins in the wild aren't exactly the most docile creatures. They've been known to "toss, beat, and kill other mammals for no apparent reason despite enjoyment."

Nevertheless, Rosin and Suneagle feel these risks are worth it. After all, as long as they don't wind up dead, they believe their ocean-born baby will be able to speak dolphin. More info: CBS Atlanta

Let a 9yo kid walk home by himself for a few blocks and Child Services Nazi's want to take them away. Expose a newborn to an encounter with a top predator and that's OK.

Anything goes in America. I don't see a lot of dolphins coming out of the water to have babies that under stand English. Besides I don't think a immediate immersion in salt water is such a good idea. A number of years ago in California there was a craze of having babies in hot tubs/pools etc. under water births.

It does sound risky. People just keep getting stranger and stranger.

Sterilization should be offered to this loving couple.
