    Your last few words intrigued me.

    For their comfort? How? Usually, it will be extreme outliers going down such route, often connected with distrust from government or religious motivation.

      I guess it’s not really their comfort, you’re right about there being extrinsic factors at play.

      By their comfort I meant avoidance of discomfort, in relation to medical procedures, to the extreme of potentially jeopardizing the health of their child. Things (other than avoiding prenatal care, which can result in more dangerous situations during delivery) like refusing vitamin k for their newborn.
