Shark bite prompts surprise birth. →[More:]

See, I wonder if this wasn't an accident. Maybe the shark was "too posh to push" as we say in England, and one of the offspring was to be offered in payment for the proceedure. That last bit is TheDonF's theory.

Is that common in the UK? "Too posh to push"? Does that mean posh people have elective C-sections?

Yes, exactly.

Is that a trend???

Only among the likes of Victoria Beckham and such. I work at a large health insurance company, and I don't think I've ever ran across someone who chose to have a c-section. We do, however, require documentation indicating a clinical reason for it, so there are those ladies out there.
