Mr. Odón . . . built his first image in his kitchen , using a meth jarful for a uterus , his daughter ’s bird for the trapped babe , and a fabric bag and arm sewn by his married woman as his lifesaving machine .

With the Odón equipment , an attendant slips a plastic bag inside a lubricated charge plate sleeve around the head , inflates it to fascinate the head and pulls the grip until the baby emerges .

Doctors say it has tremendous potential to pull through babies in poor commonwealth , and perhaps to reducecesarean sectionbirths in full-bodied ones .

What we really call for is a 21st Century toolkit for survival of the fittest , which includes off - the - shelf items that avail us with dangerous but quotidian indigence , like giving birthing and getting clean weewee .
