picture versus text?

The definition given in the first sentence of the article says the operation is done to try and safe the woman's/ pregnant person's life, doesn't it?

So the historic woodcut described as showing a dying woman (instead of saving her her extremely (absurdly) developed child is safed by taking it out of her, while she is left to die) seems not really a good choice to illustrate the article topic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:3036:273:9565:F99A:203E:E7A9:3ECA (talk) 09:47, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this picture is not representative of the topic (in the modern sense) or the text in the article.
I also believe, however, that the history section should be expanded (and the current picture could be kept there), as the 1st source shows the renaming of the procedure was meant to better represent the current perspective, but claims peri mortem c-section has an ancient historical context.
I don't know where to begin finding relevant sources for that, though.Sto0pinismo (talk) 12:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
