Move over, indoor birthing tub. This woman wants to deliver in the Pacific Ocean with dolphins as midwives.
The quest for natural childbirth has been taken to a new level. Dorina Rosin and her husband Maika Suneagle have made headlines for their decision to give birth in the ocean surrounded by dolphins. The couple lives on the big island of Hawaii, where they run a spiritual healing center.
Dorina, who is nearing the end of her pregnancy, recently took part in a dolphin blessing ceremony. In a video posted on YouTube, she swims with a snorkel and flippers, her 38-week pregnant belly visible in the water. Her partner twists and dances with a dolphin, while Dorina swims alongside another.
There have been many documented cases of dolphins helping humans. Dolphin-assisted birth is a more recent phenomenon. The Sirius Institute in Hawaii claims dolphin-assisted birth can benefit the babies: "Children born in the water with the dolphins develop 6 months faster over their first six months, have perhaps 150 grams more brain weight and are ambidextrous."

Runs a spiritual healing center scam. Looking for publicity. Gets it by endangering the life of an innocent human baby.
Some people don't deserve to have children.

Good news. You don't deserve children or to continue living. Kill yourself, and then kill your family.
