Agreed, and top it all off with the reality that in no way was this child capable of escaping, no matter her will. A lack of courage was certainly not HER failing... The reality is, there are situations where no matter one's strength of will, they can do nothing. In the case of birth, you are right GR, it's not a matter of the baby's will, though not because they don't have the mental faculties (they don't though, just saying it's not because of it), it's because the entire birthing process, though started by a hormone release from the baby, is entirely determined from that point on by the mother's contractions. The baby doesn't "fight" it's way out, it's involuntarily pushed out!
But that aside, these were sick actions by sick people decieving themselves into thinking it was good for the child, despite a total lack of evidence of any kind to show it helpful. It's really just sickening, and the people involved got off too easy.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
