I'v heard many experts mention that every mammal risk her life when giving birth. 8For example here: zpravy.idnes.cz/rozhovor-s-porodnikem-dolezalem-doh-/… (in Czech) | |

| Jun 13, 2014 at 0:02 | comment | added | Adam Davis | Because we desire and seek for a very low level of infant mortality. Medical advances have drastically reduced infant, neonatal, and perinatal mortality to the point where it is an exception to have a stillbirth, or a child that dies near full term. Without active medical involvement during pregnancy and birth, we would be losing many more children, and mothers, at birth. Consider the RH factor, only understood in the early 1930s. We could go back to all home births with no medical intervention, but emotionally the toll a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death is too great for most. | |

| Aug 19, 2013 at 11:54 | comment | added | user420 | @dhilipsiva I've changed the title to focus more on the human aspect, which seems to be what you're mostly interested in (and is also the only part that's really on-topic here). Please feel free to edit further, or even roll back the edit, if you don't believe it improves your question. | |

| Aug 18, 2013 at 22:39 | comment | added | justkt | This question makes assumptions that aren't true, which may be part of the reason it is downvoted. Also plenty of animals die giving birth, just as humans do. | |
