So, first off, I have no plans on doing this, but I've seen it mentioned a lot. Seems to have mixed results, with either the slitting of the egg helping the baby, or the baby not being ready yet, and the slitting killing it. I've read more of the slitting actually killing the baby than helping it.

So my question is, why do people do this? Is there something I'm missing? Can someone explain to me the process and its benefits?
