I missed Saturday and Sunday. Shame on me! Consider this Saturday's post.
In addition to the two papers I mentioned before, I am also doing a presentation for my bioethics class. I am looking at the ethical discussion surrounded cesarean deliveries at the mother's request -- when a woman wants a c-section, in spite of the fact that no medical reason suggests it.
What I am swiftly learning is one undisputed fact: we don't have enough research regarding childbirth. No one knows the range of medical risks and benefits. Also what I am learning is that as a society we are seeking more and more control. We don't like the idea of our bodies working, unless we can choose the when and how.
