Why is it that more researchers are not questioning the possible
neurological damage caused by drugs during labor and birth?  The medical
community says:  No alcohol or caffeine during pregnancy, but at the very
end, when the placenta is doing less filtering for the baby, it is okay to
UNNECESSARILY shoot up the mother, therefore the baby, with pitocin, stadol,
epidurals/spinals, other narcotics, etc.  Is this related to so much more
neurological/developmental/behavioral problems today?  I would sure like to
see more research on this issue.  But it is not politically correct to
expect that, is it?
