[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1632935, member: 24816"] I watched a show on KET (Kentucky Educational Television) (ket.org) it was a show about doctors scheduling to have c-section at 35 weeks to fit their schedules. Babys brains develop so much between 35-40 weeks it showed a picture it was unreal. I'd never heard this. I got sucked in to this TV show . It talked about some mothers in Eastern Kentucky and how they just live off the system cause it paid more than getting a minimum wage job that most jobs wasn't there. It was sad to watch. I never understood why people go on these missions trips over seas when we have people needing help in the United States. It's great people help don't get me wrong just never understood traveling over seas to help. I always try to help when I can. I don't go on missions trips or anything fancy but I'll help homeless and give to the local tiny pantries. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually helping or hurting the problem...

I know of two situations one in our family and one good friends that the drs were not “available” to deliver the babies and thus they held off the delivery. In both situations it caused harm to the children and in one resulted in serious developmental issues that the child will never outgrow. And yes the concept of working the system is very real we see it every day. Folks can get healthcare, food stamps, disability benefits, in some cases almost free housing. I agree with you it is sometimes hard to know if trying to help is helpful or enabling, but I try to look at it in the sense of if we try to do something to help it’s on them how they use that. No doubt you get used sometimes, but its hard to not help sometimes when you know there is a need. [/QUOTE]
