Virginia as to the required mens rea when the Court permitted the jury to infer the mens rea of reckless disregard for her child when the scientific evidence at trial established that morphine is safe to take while breast feeding and no reported case of even a toxic dose of morphine in a breast feeding child of a mother who is taking morphine? i
