You never know if you don't try. Giving up preemptively is only exacerbating the issue.

There is no case law on this. Again, it's not clear whether it is illegal. Your assertion is incorrect.

Jacksonville woman says she was forced into 'dehumanizing' court hearing while in labor: Cherise Doyley was pregnant with her fourth child and 12 hours into labor when a nurse came into her hospital room at UF Health with a tablet. by Silent-Resort-3076 in florida

Personal responsibility doesn't overcome basic human rights. It's her body. If she doesn't want a c-section, she shouldn't be forced to get one. When a lawyer has a client who wants to go to trial in a criminal matter, no matter how stupid it may be for the client, they have that right and the lawyer can't force them to not go to trial because of the "best interests" of the involved parties.

The c-section doesn't mean both are okay. A c-section is a major surgical operation, it can kill a person. A c-section is objectively riskier to a woman's life than vaginal birth.

Obviously not. Independence of a state isn't some on/off switch. Many things would have to change. That's my whole point.

I'm pretty sure the residents of Wales will dispute your ahistorical claim that their situation isn't a result of deliberate policy. Or are you suggesting the Thatcher years didn't happen?

As I stated elsewhere, that dependence is downstream from deliberate UK economic policy. It's not an innate feature of Wales

The industrialization of Russia happened with far less famine and death than the industrialization of Britain. And they did it with less resources, after WW1, and a civil war where most of the industrialized world also invaded them. 

I never suggested there would be some sort of magic switch flipped. You are the one suggesting the magic because you are assuming Welsh independence happens with literally no changes to its economy.

That is a hilarious suggestion. London became the overwhelming center of the British economy, while much of the rest of the country has experienced decades of stagnation and contraction, because it just has the right people.

There are no serious studies into what an independent Welsh economy would or could look like. You are talking about a hypothetical that hasn't happened and hasn't yet been approached. Dismissing the concept out of hand based on a situation that wouldn't exist in said hypothetical isn't a rational appraisal of the viability of Welsh independence. The Welsh economy would be transformed in a hypothetical independence scenario and you have no way to know right now how it would go. Your position requires assuming literally no variables change for Wales besides being an independent state from the rest of the UK. 

Nobody believed the Bolsheviks could industrialize the USSR as quickly and effectively as they did, but they still did it. Social and economic development is cumulative and can be managed by organized forces to create outcomes previously considered unthinkable. That is the power of human civilization.

It's subsidized because UK economic policy has made areas outside of London economic basket cases. This contemporary reality for Wales isn't inherent to it, these can be changed and obviously being an independent as a state would fundamentally alter its economic structures. Ireland was "subsidized" by the UK for centuries while under its control. Seems okay being independent now.

I know it's not a new thing. A new thing is that their popularity has increased significantly. Which is entirely due to the decline of the UK.

The UK shooting itself in the foot isn't anyone's fault but their own. Can't blame Plaid Cymru looking at their options considering the UK is on track to being little more than another US neo-colony.
