I agree on the need to question the above statement, as Celine
has written for numerous reasons.
One reason that relates to my work here in Afghanistan is that
there are many countries where this would be taken as a Carte
Blanche for caesarian on demand without thought to ongoing
research on the long term effects, and the characteristics of
the population with whom one is dealing eg. the fertility rate
here is 6.9....
Another key question is "doees the ACOG really have enough
evidence on which to base this statement?"
