Couple Plans Dolphin-Assisted Birth

At an institute in Hawaii.

Dr. Dolphin does have a nice ring to it, but a North Carolina couple has taken their reverence of the marine creatures too far—with plans to have dolphins help with the delivery of their baby. They're heading to The Sirius Institute in Hawaii where dolphins are said to assist in the labor and delivery process.

Or in the words of Discover Magazine, "DEAR GOD. NO. JUST. NO."
