Scientific American Article worth reading.

Please check out this link to an article in Scientific American that discusses The Wax Meta-analysis Paper that ACOG relied on as justification for its position against home birth and certified professional midwives. It fairly presents an unbiased view that, at best, many experts question its veracity.

Garbage in, garbage out. Science is not served when there is an agenda first and then data is cherry picked to bolster that agenda. I have no knowledge of Dr. Wax's agenda but ACOG diminishes themselves by showing theirs in choosing this paper as its sole basis for justification of its opinion on home birth. Readers should do their best to decide for themselves what the evidence and common sense tells us. Dr.F
