Childbirth in the Land of Utopia

Author(s): Odent, Michel.

In this creative look into the future, the author offers a scenario in which
giving birth without medical intervention is deemed to be ideal. The scene starts in the
year 2010 with an interdisciplinary conference to discuss the need to control the rate of
caesarean birth. The effects of the Utopian attitude are evaluated in 2031.
Interestingly, outsiders had been at the root of the miraculous solutions unanimously
adopted in this country. This essay presents a thought-provoking approach that will
have you creating your own version of Utopia.
