I get that it’s a crazy title but I read the article and it seems to be pretty well reasoned and makes some sense?

Kind of, but I hate seeing stuff like this:

And while you’ll be hard-pressed to find many experts who support unassisted births—as in, at home, without the presence of a physician or midwife—the core of Shanley’s philosophy stems from a concept that has existed for millennia but has been diminished in the past century: The majority of births are “normal” and don’t require medical intervention.

I’m glad the author prefaces that saying that experts don’t support unassisted births. Of course people have been having unassisted births for millennia with the majority being normal. But we used to have much higher infant mortality rates compared to what modern people would deem acceptable.

Personally, I’d have a dead baby and probably would be a widower if my wife hadn’t given birth in a hospital.
