On a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Boston, a Ugandan woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl. They were both fortunate that there were two doctors on board. As the child was born while in Canadian airspace, she automatically became a Canadian citizen.

And, the article doesn't say anything about it automatically becoming Canadian - that *does* sound like BS.
I can just imagine the experience of the other passengers - I would ask for a refund.
Or simply to make the flight more pleasant! I had to get a long flight once near a screaming baby which drove me nuts, I can't imagine what it would be like sitting next to someone giving birth! :p
