The story can be found here. She was 40 years old, used three glasses of hard liquor for an anesthetic and after delivering the child had one of her children call a local nurse before passing out. At least to some, life is still precious.

That is SWEET. They said she drank three “small” glasses of hard liquor…I think it would take alot more before I could gut myself! Of course, she was probably in so much pain from labor that it didn’t really hurt. But still! What courage!
I am glad that I am not a girl. And that I don’t live in Mexico!
Have you ever poked at something that was realy swollen? I bet it hurt a lot, in fact, I don’t think I could image the pain.
wow, I have heard a survival story of a person that had cut off his leg for food; he was in the middle of nowhere. If your in a life or death situation you do what you have to, but it’s hard to picture yourself doing something like this.
