Wow! This was quite thought provoking and eye-opening. Not something I'd ever given much thought about but definitely something that MUST be explored and talked about MORE! Thank you for writing this piece! If you are ok with it, I would like to reference it and share it in my new season of De-Stigma Dialogues podcast where Motherhood is one of the three themes.

To me, this is indicative of the de-souling of humanity for the gain of an overly-mechanistic worldview. The natural process of birth (and death!) has been increasingly hijacked for the "greater good" - which is why I'm so pleased to see a slow but steady resurgence of natural birthing in the context of the trauma that happens when the process is not respected. Thank you Lara for highlighting these issues
