<br>Then they could have a contest to see who:<br><br>1. Is the most wackiest, and<br>2. Who can do the most harm.<br><br>As for the <i>Daily News</i>, they must have a strong belief in the educational level and sound judgment of their readership to present such testimony on a very technically difficult subject. And certainly someone who has learned midwifery through a succession of reincarnations must be qualified as an expert, and one who knows more than the medical community. Or maybe the publication of this column was displaced from its original intended publication date, April 1.<br>

Nonetheless when idiosyncrasy includes a genuine risk to others, it crosses the line from harmlessly peculiar to potentially dangerous. What jackassery prompted the Daily News editorial board through its designated spokesperson Murf Racquet to address obstetric protocols at local hospitals? It’s not too late to share with your readers the professional credentials held by Daily News editorial board members which provided you with even a scintilla of the background and training necessary to evaluate the risks connected to VBAC deliveries. And what in our troubled world with the genuinely serious issues of political upheaval , economic crisis and environmental degradation suggests to you that VBACs are worthy of your editorial attention?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was a dim-witted decision to put your two cents into a VBAC debate in the first place.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have identified with the Crow as a bird itself for its intense beauty, magic and intelligence and as the representation of the link between death and life, the transition, the veil, whatever you want to call it, it is the space in-between. I've lived in that space to a substantial degree myself and it is an interesting and sometimes difficult place. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">My youngest son, [<b>I removed his name to protect his privacy although his own mother clearly didn’t give a hoot</b>], was very much a girl and very much a different entity up until three weeks prior to birth. We never had an ultrasound, there was never a measurement, and of course, to most people, my statement will sound ludicrous. "He was obviously not a girl at anytime!" (Other than the fact that we all start as girls, but that is yet another story). Anyway, we had quite a series of events occur right at the end of pregnancy and there was a time (although I never worried that he would not be ok) where I had no idea, suddenly, who he/she/it was. <br>
<br>There is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenberg_uncertainty_principle" target="_blank">Heisenberg principle</a> which essentially identifies the fact that we can only be so certain about physical properties at any given time and the closer we interact with the system we are studying, the more change we bring to the very nature of that very system. In a very simplified manner, you can take this also to mean that when we nail down the sex of a fetus in an ultrasound, the parameters become that much harder to change. Ie. If you measure it as a boy, it will most likely be a boy. But anyway, we never measured the baby or nailed him down into any kind of matter and once huge life changes took place, there was this shift. And then, finally, when everything else fell into place, I got the feeling he was going to be a boy and that he was finally going to be born. And there 'he' was.”<u></u><u></u></p>
