Um, well - because physics is only a small part of the equation. http://www.clinicalevidence.com/ceweb/conditions/pac/1401/1401_I6.jsp Squatting seems to be the best way to deliver faeces as well, but only half the world seem to be doing it.... > Why don't doctors use gravity to assist in the delivery? > > Dropping something is much easier than pushing.
