(I just noticed - your comments are on GMT, not Pacific. Heehee.)
I kinda see it as a certificate of life, the opposite of a death certificate. And I dunno, it just makes me feel a little uneasy. Maybe I'm being bothered by nothing. (I can't work out whether it includes miscarriage, or if it's just stillborn - the former worries me more.)
I don't see it the same way you do. If you carry a baby to term, you likely wanted the child. That's a lot of hopes and dreams, gone. Poof. You want to bury the kid, some people do baptisms on them, and a birth certificate can help ease the pain for some people. Otherwise, it's like saying you're not grieving anything.
