Plane tickets

I was online buying plane tickets for our next trip back to GA and since we'll have a 6 month old baby, I was looking at the options for "special services." I thought that maybe a baby would fit into this catagory and I could request which section of the plane we sat in. Turns out that's not the case. I did find something else I thought was interesting. Stretcher assistance. Yeah, apparently there are people who know in advance that they need this service. "Uh, yeah, I think I may be severely maimed at some point on this trip and might need some assistance with my stretcher." Really?
