I can't respect anyone who says things like "it's about art vs. science". People who can't reconcile art and science should be receiving therapy, not attempting to dole it out. But back on topic...
I know someone who's home birth quackery resulted in serious complications during her delivery - complications that would have been dismissed handily by a doctor in a well equipped hospital. Giving birth is a serious business - lives are at stake. I'm happy everything has turned out so well for Lake and friends. It doesn't always. It's truly unfortunate that a film like this was made, because it will encourage more women to let emotional responses outweigh statistics, and thereby put their baby's lives at risk.
