The risk/benefit ratio of caesarean section versus vaginal birth does not justify performing the operation solely on demand of the woman without a medical indication. Underlying fear of childbirth should be addressed by other means rather than simply performing the operation. These considerations should not be outweighed by women's freedom to decide.
剖宫产与阴道分娩的风险/收益比并不足以证明在没有医学指征的情况下仅仅应女性要求就实施手术是合理的。潜在的分娩恐惧应该通过其他方式解决，而不是简单地进行手术。这些考量不应被女性的决定权所压倒。
