So previous generations were left with an unacceptable choice: intervene so fewer women would die (as was the norm until only recently) or let all women who couldn't survive a complicated vaginal birth die and let natural selection occur?SabrinaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273102123975115696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12625691.post-4313523142678205762010-02-02T01:17:12.387-05:002010-02-02T01:17:12.387-05:00very nice and informative blogvery nice and informative blogtubal reversalhttp://www.mybabydoc.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12625691.post-42259758288846434132010-02-01T19:41:33.877-05:002010-02-01T19:41:33.877-05:00The words planned and birth, whether vaginal or ce...The words planned and birth, whether vaginal or cesarean, should rarely be used together to ensure the safest outcome for mother and baby. And what of the additional costs for cesarean section? How many women, if they were forced to pay out of pocket for the additional cost of their care and the lengthened time away from work, would or could afford to consider that option even if it were deemed ethical? What of the increased utilization of resources, ie waste generated by the surgery? <br />Health care workers seem to believe it is their right to deny women birth control, access to information and or abortion based on their personal beliefs. I propose a movement to refuse to participate in unethical wasteful care simply because a patient demands it as their "right".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
