Dear Pam,

Interesting discussion. I always try to avoid the word delivery (since somebody wrote that only pizza’s are delivered not women… can’t think who it was). However, I do sin sometimes because it is not always easy to use the word ‘birth’. A woman gives birth but it is the baby’s birth I think? Would love to hear suggestions for other terms to get around this.

Hello colleagues, 

 

Unless I missed it, this didn't get sent out on this list serve: the Fall 2013 edition of The Journal of Clinical Ethics is completely devoted to "Place of Birth".  I haven't read the articles, but many of the titles look intriguing.  I've included the contents of the edition below.

 

Yours,

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

-Nelson Mandela
