Yes, they did. The woman had had two previous children this way and so they judged that it was much more preferable than to risk a breech and the health or life of both the baby and mother.
This is retarded. The decision was made 5 weeks before c-section, they could have send her home before that. What will be next? 'Voluntary' kidney donations while changing flights?
- there were other relatives who had rights and could take care of the baby.
- she was held for 5 weeks in the hospital before the baby was delivered, than deported!
- And on top of that there is gagging court order, so she could not ask for help, otherwise she would lose all chances to get baby back.
