Thanks to all for your reflections and suggestions.
I thought of another issue: the fact that some pregnant women
-even those who want to make use of the choise for a c-section,
inquired, donīt like having the choise at all. Because, as someone tells me:
"It complicates everything, I would rather have been without that speculation"
Such opinions donīt prove anything, of course, but they might be interesting for
further research.
