Well, thanks for the fall down that particularly horrifying rabbit hole. I can only imagine the pain these women went through, given this was at a time that predates anaesthesia.
Comment on Could I patent harmful technology to prevent it from being put on the market?

I’ll let anyone curious enough google that.

You use the chainsaw to open the lady and pluck out the baby? What a genius idea. This will save a lot of time. /s

Curiosity got the better of me a while back. It’s horrifying and incredibly interesting at the same time.
