27,000 preventable infant deaths occur every year from medically assisted delivery process

A 1991 study reported in the Journal oj Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation says that 10% of all babies that die at birth in the United States die from neurological damage to the brain stem caused by the medically assisted delivery process. This translates into 27,000 preventable infant deaths that occur every year from an injury called" decerebration". Decerebration is a form of stillbirth that results from using the head as a lever .to forcibly extract the baby from the womb by using manual traction or mechanical extractors. Decerebration is a term used to describe the fact that someone pulled a little too hard on the infant's head and disconnected the spinal cord from the brain resulting in death. By way of commentary, perhaps the word murder should be used instead of stillbirth. A leading medical textbook on infant care, "Immediate Management of the Traumatized Infant" states that "Birth trauma was nonetheless the sixth leading cause of neonatal mortality in the United States in 1981. It is still true tllat the most dangerous journey some people will ever undertake is that from the womb to the outside world."
