A mother is facing prosecution under race discrimination laws after objecting to hospital staff from a specific ethnic minority group being present at the birth of her child.
The woman was in the delivery room at the maternity unit and about to undergo a caesarian section when she made her demand.
It was not clear whether she was referring to black employees, those of Asian origin, or any other race at Milton Keynes Hospital in Buckinghamshire.
Now, admittedly, if it were me. I would just want the best that the hospital had to offer but in this case, whose human rights come first?
The woman giving birth, who is after all "the customer" or the staffs?
Finally, what would happen in a similar situation if a Muslim woman didn't want a male present and wanted to be attended to only by women (which incidentally was something I was offered 25 years ago).
You see, you take things too far and someone will always think their rights are more important than someone elses!
