I'm not sure what to think about this case

KSL News: Murder Case of Stillborn Baby Raises Ethics Questions

and

Mother who wanted to avoid Caesarian scar charged with murder

Is there a cognition issue? Was the mother in some form of psychotic fugue brought on by the possibility of losing a child, or dealing with hormone-driven mental illness? Was she merely callous and self-serving?

I'm reserving judgement for now; the two stories are so far apart.

But it's certainly disturbing.
