Currently, the issue is becoming a broader one because the women themselves want a cesarean section on request. There is debate about whether it's a woman's right to request a cesarean section.
Discussions surround what is a woman's right as opposed to a privilege, and what is society's right.
One of the concerns is the limited budget to provide health care services. The C-section that is done on request might consume more money and may even block up the theaters necessary to do emergency procedures. Many organizations like to consider C-section on request as a privilege and to monitor the situation to see how it develops. I think there's current debate relating on whether or not cost effectiveness may not be about equal for a cesarean birth, at least in the United States. Clearly in my opinion, the baby has a less traumatic exit from the mother by cesarean birth.
