fear of pain and the natural course of things
spent several hours today in the hospital waiting on the outcome of my mother's knee replacement surgery. She made it through despite her fragile health thankfully and just has to ride out a few more days to make sure there isn't any dangerous complications due to her other health problems. Oddly enough, or maybe not....I'm not sure....her surgery was done just down the hall from the maternity/birthing area of the hospital. So while I was waiting around I got to talk to a lot of expectant grandparents and extended family members waiting as well to hear about the new addition. Out of the 5 families chatting, 4 of the delivering mothers were in for scheduled c-section deliveries.....

this new phenomenon just bothers me.

some things just shouldn't be fit into a timetable and been seen as something potentially inconveinient in it's natural form, it's right on par with the baby gene designing issue in my opinion
