Recent fatalities in Australia and India highlight the risks associated with bypassing institutional medical care in favor of unregulated 'freebirth' methodologies and digital instructional content.

近期在澳洲與印度發生的死亡案例，凸顯了捨棄醫療機構護理而選擇非正規「自由分娩」方法與數位教學內容所帶來的風險。

The proliferation of the 'Free Birth Society' (FBS), directed by Emilee Saldaya and Yolande Norris-Clark, has facilitated the dissemination of anti-scientific paradigms globally. The organization utilizes the designation 'Radical Birth Keeper' (RBK) to circumvent legal restrictions on midwifery practice, instructing adherents to operate as 'friends' to evade contractual and professional liability. This ideological framework prioritizes absolute maternal autonomy over clinical intervention, characterizing emergency medical responses, such as the summoning of emergency services, as detrimental. The RBK curriculum, delivered via remote digital platforms, reportedly dismisses neonatal resuscitation and bacterial infection theory, while categorizing critical complications as 'variations of normal.'

由 Emilee Saldaya 與 Yolande Norris-Clark 領導的「自由分娩協會」（FBS）大肆擴張，促進了反科學範式的全球傳播。該組織使用「激進分娩守護者」（RBK）的稱號以規避對助產執業的法律限制，指示追隨者以「朋友」身份運作，以逃避契約與專業責任。這種意識形態框架將絕對的產婦自主權置於臨床干預之上，將緊急醫療反應（例如召喚緊急救援服務）定格為有害。據報導，透過遠端數位平台傳達的 RBK 課程無視新生兒復甦與細菌感染理論，並將嚴重併發症歸類為「正常變異」。

In Australia, the application of these tenets is exemplified by the case of Emily Lal, an unlicensed practitioner trained by the FBS. Lal was engaged for a fee of A$6,000 to attend the birth of Stacey Warnecke. Following a massive postpartum hemorrhage, Lal deferred calling emergency services twice due to the client's refusal, adhering to the FBS doctrine of autonomy. Medical experts testified that the resulting death was preventable had clinical intervention been timely. Lal's professional history also includes an association with the preventable death of a neonate in 2022, although no formal findings were made against her in that instance. Consequently, the Victorian Health Complaints Commissioner has issued multiple interim prohibition orders against Lal to mitigate public risk.

在澳洲，由 FBS 培訓的無牌執業者 Emily Lal 的案例體現了這些教義。Lal 收取 6,000 澳元費用參與 Stacey Warnecke 的分娩。在發生嚴重產後大出血後，由於客戶拒絕，Lal 兩次推遲撥打緊急救援電話，以遵循 FBS 的自主權教義。醫療專家證實，若能及時進行臨床干預，此次死亡本可避免。Lal 的專業歷史還包括與 2022 年一名新生兒可避免之死亡事件相關，儘管當時未對其作出正式裁定。因此，維多利亞州醫療投訴專員已對 Lal 發出多項臨時禁令，以降低公眾風險。

Parallel trends are observed in India, where a 32-year-old woman in Tamil Nadu expired from postpartum hemorrhage after her family utilized YouTube tutorials to facilitate a 'natural' delivery. This decision was reportedly influenced by a desire to avoid a repeat Caesarean section and a general aversion to allopathic medicine. The incident has prompted legal action under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Clinical experts, including Dr. Preeti Rastogi, have noted that the unpredictability of labor and the necessity of immediate interventions for retained placentas render unsupervised home births inherently hazardous, regardless of the perceived 'natural' quality of the process.

印度也觀察到平行趨勢。在淡米爾那德邦，一名 32 歲女性在家人利用 YouTube 教學影片協助「自然」分娩後，死於產後大出血。據報導，這一決定是受避免重複剖腹產以及對全科醫學普遍反感的影響。該事件已根據《印度法典》（Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita）採取法律行動，指控為非謀殺的過失致死。包括 Preeti Rastogi 醫生在內的臨床專家指出，分娩的不可預測性以及胎盤滯留時立即干預的必要性，使得無監督的居家分娩本質上具有危險性，無論分娩過程被認為具有多高的「自然」品質。

The current situation is characterized by ongoing coronial inquests and regulatory prohibitions aimed at addressing the lethal consequences of unregulated birth assistance.

目前的情況是以持續進行的驗屍庭調查與監管禁令為特徵，旨在解決非正規分娩協助所帶來的致命後果。
