[No caesarean section on demand without a proper indication]
Abstract
The risk/benefit ratio of caesarean section versus vaginal birth does not justify performing the operation solely on demand of the woman without a medical indication. Underlying fear of childbirth should be addressed by other means rather than simply performing the operation. These considerations should not be outweighed by women's freedom to decide.
