Review

documentary that looks at the healthcare industry and how they handle childbirth. pretty depressing stuff, but it is just another example of how far big business has gotten our culture away from life’s fundamentals. there are some real nutty hippies that go along with the home at birth movement and that frankly is a turn off from that whole idea. but ultimately i think they have good points. i’m also a guy who generally thinks about getting back to nature and doing things without technology. in a lot of ways it makes sense to eschew the technological approach to something that women’s bodies are fundamentally designed to do.
