I have not desire to regulate midwives or anyone else in SL, but I am interested in the quality of information etc that is touted in SL by virtual health professionals - definitely something I would like to investigate - is it something to be concerned about in this context? After all, we have enough trouble ensuring quality of care in real life, without having to worry about it in virtual worlds?<BR/><BR/>2. As for the waterbirth, it is not that I am enthusiastic about - on one level I feel very uneasy about 'birth' in SL. But on the other hand, if it going to be portrayed in virtual worlds, I would rather it was portrayed as a natural event, rather than highly medicalised, like in many TV programs & films. Could this video not be used to 'advertise' waterbirth in real life?Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-27404033039139796602009-04-05T12:27:00.000+10:002009-04-05T12:27:00.000+10:00Sarah I am not sure that I share your enthusiasm a...Sarah I am not sure that I share your enthusiasm about the benifit of this waterbirth however the priniciple of the virtual world is that it mirrors life as we choose, which means does mean rules, principles and regulations. Therefore I think there should be a virtual Nurses and Midwives Board and the nurses and midwives should follow regulation. Now, if you decide to pursue this idea, I wouldn't mind being part of the venture, even look at a project to setting it up. Not that I have any spare time.http://infomidwife.paulinerose.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
