That was my point. I'm not kicking it around. The question posed to obstetricians is moronic and the answer obvious, end of conversation.

Now if the question were posed to the public who might opt for this sort of risky behavior, it would be worth our time to try and convince them of the dangers involved. However, it has been my experience that it is almost always an exercise in futility to attempt to reason with the illogical.
