What is twilight sleep and would you have wanted to experience it? Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?


Twilight sleep refers to a drug that was given to women in the early 1900s so that they would relax, making the birth easier. When the woman woke up from the sleep, they didn't remember anything about the birth process. They would not want it because it decreases a sense of control and does not allow the person to remember the joyous occasion of the birth.
