[quote=Anonymous]Who determines recklessness? One option is the organization that certifies midwives. Another option, which you can't avoid no matter what regime we have, is a prosecutor, judge, and jury. In extreme cases a woman may seek criminal charges if she thinks her birth attendant has been criminally negligent. How do the prosecutor and jury decide what has crossed that line? They would hear evidence from experts. I take it you would want to bar OBs as experts and limit it to midwives. I doubt a court would accept that but the midwife could certainly present evidence from those who found her actions appropriate. The idea of who gets to judge professional proficiency comes up in all areas. I see why you think it is harder here because of bias from the OB community but that doesn't mean we should throw up our hands and let anyone call themselves a midwife. [/quote]
