#10. When anesthesia was developed, it was for many decades routinely withheld from women giving birth, since women were "supposed" to suffer. One of the few societies to take a contrary view was the Huichol tribe in Mexico.

Those were the moments she felt most content, when she finally allowed herself to believe in the impossible. Those were the moments when all seemed right in the world. #Quote by Nicholas Sparks

And, of course, we have this modern illusion that we should live as long as we can. As #Quote by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
