Full Frills Childbirth

03/02/2012

The nursery-school, if it became universal, could in one generation, remove the profound differences in education which at present divide the classes, could produce a population all enjoying the mental and physical development which is now confined to the most fortunate, and could remove the terrible dead-weight of disease and stupidity and malevolence which now makes progress so difficult.
Bertrand Russell in Education and the Good Life, 1926

Time magazine (January 23, 2012) reports that all childbirths are not alike. To generate income, some hospitals are providing "limousine labor." For example, at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles "deluxe maternity suites offer three rooms with hardwood floors, a personal aide 24/7, and other lush hotel-style amenities for $3,800 per day."

Other hospitals agree to totally redecorate rooms and provide an entire team to attend to the mother once she arrives "with massage therapists, special music options, an interior decorator, a chef, a photographer, and especially, a makeup artist."
