I hope the article has misrepresented the issue and it's not quite as convenience based as it seems.
Either way, my guess is that this couple haven't been told the entire truth about the risks of unnecessary early induction. I'm not saying things will definitely go badly, things may go well, and of course I hope they will. But if something goes wrong and the parents find out that with better research they could have made a safer informed decision, I think that would be a lot of guilt to work through.
Anyway. Sounds like the decision has been made, and I wish them and their baby a happy, safe and successful birth.
