That's straight-up cyberpunk horror territory. What the actual fuck
- alistairSH 6y agoCould many of those C-sections be at the request of the mother? I know quite a few professional women who have scheduled C-sections (or just induced births) so they can "manage" the delivery better. Seems crazy to me, but not my body, child, or career.
- bananaface 6y agoThat also seems horrifying & cyperpunk to me but I doubt a significant chunk of women choose it, let alone independently.
- newen 6y agoIn India, it's something of a fashion and women choose it because its convenient, etc.

- mensetmanusman 6y agoBased on time-of-day data, it seems the scheduling is more likely to convenience the doctors.
- HelloMcFly 6y agoUnless there's a medical need it's not ethical to give a c-section as it creates greater risk of complication (including and especially death), more long-term effects, worse effects on the child, and just so happens to make the hospital more money. Of course if there is a medical need then they should be done, but it's not like tonsilectomy.
