This is a wonderful quote from a friend of mine who is a midwife from New Zealand:
"While we strive to base midwifery practice on the available evidence, this very evidence almost unfailingly points to the fact that science cannot provide all of the answers and often causes more harm than good with its insistence that we study populations of women and seek general laws. Any midwife who has witnessed physiological birth will attest that there are very few absolute laws which can be applied to all women. I can think of only two which transcend culture and environment: that birth works much better without intervention for the vast majority of the time; and that babies come out".
