>Most people don't want to have any part in a newborn being harmed

And nobody is ever the bad guy in their own story. During my sister's birth, she got stuck, and the doctor, instead of doing the normal and accepted and standard fix of breaking one bone, broke a different one instead. This damaged nerves in her arm and permanently disabled her. Turns out, he did the exact same thing to another kid in town a few years later. ALSO turns out, he had to stop practicing medicine in a different state because he kept doing that to a bunch of babies, so instead of retiring or retraining because he obviously did not know what he was doing, he moved to bumb-fuck nowhere so he could keep doing it. I bet he even thought he was a good doctor.

It is never trivially easy to get someone to do something they don't want to do, like admitting they fuck up, or that they are careless about something they don't think is important.

We only got $10k in the malpractice suit, which doesn't even cover like a year of physical therapy, for a lifelong and entirely avoidable disability of her dominant arm. She had to learn to be left handed. If our family didn't have state employee insurance, we would have never seen a doctor, like most people in poverty.
