Thanks. <br /><br />Seems Queen Victoria's frequent pregnancies ("like shelling peas", as they say in the UK) did much to legitimize the use of anesthesia in childbirth. Queen V, who loved the pleasure, but hated the subsequent pain, took to chloroform like a duck to water.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224671339660011652.post-72984050148281163582009-10-29T20:35:13.113-07:002009-10-29T20:35:13.113-07:00As someone of your admirable encylopedic knowledge...As someone of your admirable encylopedic knowledge knows, there was a terrific controversy 150 years ago about whether the use of anesthesia in childbirth violated God's will. As <a href="http://www.painfreebirthing.com/english/evolution.htm" rel="nofollow">one history of childbirth</a> notes:<br /><br />"When the anesthetic effects of ether and chloroform were discovered in the mid 1800's, many members of the British clergy argued that this human intervention in the miracle of birth was sin against the will of God. If God had wished labor to be painless, he would have created it so. ...<br /><br />"After initial reports of successful pain free childbirth, an era of conflict began predominantly between two groups. One against and the other for 'adapting pain-free childbirth'. The former group believed that all manner of calamities -disease, drought, poverty, and pain - signified divine retribution inflicted as punishment for sin. According to Scripture, childbirth pain originated when God punished Eve and her descendants for Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. They believed that it was wrong to avoid the pain of divine punishment. On the other hand, there were others believing that disease and pain are biologic processes subject to study and control by new methods of science and technology."dr.primrosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224671339660011652.post-10289627682138707952009-10-29T20:05:33.693-07:002009-10-29T20:05:33.693-07:00Clearly God made him that way, Naturally.Clearly <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/if_god_had_wanted_me_to_be" rel="nofollow">God made him that way, Naturally</a>.Paul (A.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07543357437252555101noreply@blogger.com
