C-section birth on giant screen

File under offbeat.

A hospital screened footage of a baby being born by caesarian section on a giant screen at a shopping mall in China.

Anzhen Hospital, in Changsha city, broadcast the eight minute clip three times at the downtown Fashion Square mall.

"We wanted to do something special on Mother's Day. And we think broadcasting a C-section is a good idea," said a hospital spokesman.

Reactions to the film were mixed. Some thought it a fitting tribute to mothers but others found it shocking.
