Abstract
A recent meta-analysis on home-births reported a small increase in neonatal infant mortality but considerable reduction in maternal morbidity in association with planned home-birth as compared with hospital-birth (1). This caused the editors of the Lancet to proclaim that '[w]omen have the right to choose how and where to give birth, but they do not have the right to put their baby at risk. There are competing interests that need to be weighed carefully' (2).
