I know I shouldn't post this but I just can't not. I'm really not trying to start a fight, Moonie.

Given that the US is 36th on the list of infant mortality, meaning that 35 countries have better survival rates for babies than we do, I'd say not. The top countries have a birth system completely run by midwives and a huge number of homebirths. My dislike for our sub-standard American medical system is intense.
