Title: Outdated viewpoints with little substance backing them
Product review: I would have given this book zero stars if I could. I recommend *against* reading this book.The authors express a mistrust for modern medicine that throws the baby out with the bath water. While I agree with them that many aspects of the standard hospotal birth are based on (male) doctors' convenience, these authors do not acknowledge any positives coming out of that knowledge base. The authors also paint the vast majority of sperm banks as homophobic, which I simply don't think is the case.Additionally, I find it disturbing that the authors promote a variety of alternative parenting arrangements (co-parenting with 3 or 4 adults involved, for instance) without discussing the many different ways it affects the child. If they were going to tackle such complex child-rearing topics, I would prefer that they had a child or family therapist consult with them on the book.
