Even for voluntary purposes. For instance if I had every had a 3rd child I would more then likely opt for a planned c-section because of my history of tramautic labors (the 2nd one ended in c-section). Seeing as I am not willing to put myself through that experience a 3rd time I would voluntarily opt for a c-section. All surgeries carry risks whether it be an appendectomy, coronary bypass, or c-section that is not new news.

Instead, they are relying on the distorted summary provided by the WHO researchers. If you read the study and look at its tables of data (before the WHO researchers reorganize the data into a special 'index' of results that supports a vaginal delivery bias), it is clear that planned cesarean without medical indication is NOT less safe than a planned vaginal delivery. This study should not be used to criticize women for making a perfectly legitimate birth plan decision.
