At least they showed 'knife to skin' which is a moment that not many people can watch without shuddering! It is said that even bad publicity is useful.  I did not see the show, (I was out water-birthing with a client at her home) But I believe from what I read that Justine's small segment will inspire many women who either did not know they could have a homebirth, or will be convinced they don't want their babies cut out.  I don't think the ongoing effect will be all bad.  Mary M
