Erasmus Darwin 1770
“Another thing very
injurious to the child, is the tying and cutting of the
navel string too soon; which should always be left till
the child has not only repeatedly breathed but till all
pulsation in the cord ceases. As otherwise the child is
much weaker than it ought to be, a portion of the blood
being left in the placenta, which ought to have been in
the child."

"Since
when do we accept medical interventions as the safe and
acceptable norm, while demanding clinical proof of the
safety of a natural process?"
