Sorry Izbeck but midwives and an epidural were not part of nature’s plans. Other creatures manage without and so do/did humans before the healthcare system was implemented. Granted it may have made the process of giving birth easier, it isn’t really essential. As a species we may be constantly advancing in medical science but at the same time we are becoming more dependent on it; ultimately leading to increased vulnerability if it fails us.

I dont know what your idea of ‘essential’ is, but preventing women from dying during childbirth and ensuring those children survive is pretty high on my priority list.
Its all very well to say ‘we managed before’ but we cant go back to the state our bodies were before we evolved to rely on what we have. Sanitation for a start to prevent infections.

Also it might be worth chiming in about contraception. Quite important for keeping the population steady.

Well this is kind of what Chrispy was getting at I think, or at least one of his points. Nature and evolution provide us with all we need. If you don’t make it, sounds harsh, but nature never intended for so many of us to be successfully born into this world. We should have a much higher infancy mortality rate. But humans persist in overcoming the natural world’s obstacles. Hence here we are; massively over populated and too few resources for the current rate of population growth. We will likely be our own demise forging such a forceful path ‘forwards’.

I have made this promise to many people and very few believe me:

If a being were to hand me a red button, which if pressed would automatically and quite randomly kill 2/3 over every Human on the planet I would be scrabbling to push it!

Why are the best buttons always red?! Lol.

I too would push that button.

Either you are a sociopath, you see the bigger picture or like me, you are a sociopath who sees the bigger picture! lol

Lol, well I think it’s already established I’m a little more, let’s say volatile, than most.
