[ExI] Human extinction

[John Grigg]

My mother gave birth to my younger brother at an Air Force hospital
(30 years ago) and she had to put her foot down with the doctors to
not do a c-section because it was their standard operating procedure
to carry out the procedure as soon as the least bit of trouble
happened.
