Like everything else these days,”gubmint knows best” seems to be the attitude of the American people. That is a very dangerious position to place ourselves in.

Many women give birth alone on toilet seats to healthy babies, and stone-age women obviously had enough live births to get us to today.

That said, the third world is full of women who die, or have the baby die, or who have massive tears that make their life hell.

There is no reason to make modern medicine an inhumane experience, nor is there any reason to run away from modern medical capability. I'm fairly certain that I can perform a successful appendectomy if I were given two hours of instruction, but to purposely do so outside of the confines of modern medical facilities is simply tempting fate.

Simply because we CAN pull our own teeth doesn't make it a good idea.
