Barb asks for research to show that mothers who are given the facts and make their individual decisions on that are happier. Maybe as well as that research Barb would be to search the legal literature to demonstrate that people who aren't fully informed are more likely to sue when a 'misadventure' they hadn't been informed about occurs. We have legal precedent here in Australia - I'm sure there's plenty of precedents in US medico-legal circles. Carrots sometimes work, but probably work better when there's also a big stick.
