Quísstioning the widespread use of synthetic oxytocin

All human beings are "endowed with reason." This assumption is the basis of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as clearly expressed in its very first article. Obviously the authors of the declaration had not considered the particular case of the process of parturition, when there is no room for rational means of expression. One cannot interpret literally the irrational language of some women in hard labor, as soon as the neocortical control has been eliminated: "Kill me...shoot me... let me die...do anything...etc." On the other hand, for obvious reasons, the baby cannot rationally express his or her point of view. However, it frequently happens that decisions must be made during childbirth. Who can make such decisions? And based on which criteria?
