We (Barbara & Maria) would like to thank Professor David Lux for showing us through the development of this project how much fun term projects can actually be. Large term projects are not normally well accepted by students but by using a different approach, they are not only more fun but more informational.
I (Barbara) would like to thank Professor Judy Litoff for spending time discussing the issues of midwifery. Also, for pointing me in the right direction for this project.
Special thanks to Arthur. Without you this project would never have been complete.
I (Maria) would like to thank my boyfriend Matthew J. Wollen, Kayla M. and Kevin A. for helping me discuss this matter and a better understanding of the nature of life.
Thanks to the Midwifery Clinic at St. Margaret's Hospital, Dorchester MA., for spending time with me (Barbara). Without your midwives I would not have been introduced to such a special group of people. I remember you most for the care I received and the lives you've touched.
