Catherine, can you quote the risks for those things? I would like evidence because I don't think you would find any. The stats I have seen all say that the risk of death home vs hospital is the same. Babies and mothers die from malpractice, errors and complications in hospitals, and yes at home too. But all risks weighed up, it's close to exactly the same.
I don't understand where your anger has come from, I don't feel anyone has ganged up on anyone and unless it's because you are feeling frightened and want a c/s, it's not fair to attack others who had a bad experience and are suggesting it's not a good idea. All our experiences have feelings attached and just because your way is not the way they like, it doesn't need to be attacked. Perhaps you need to talk this issue through with your carer. If you come out and tell us that is your choice and that is what you want, power to you. We will not try and change your mind.
It is something we are all priviledged to have here - the wisdom of many other mothers who have been there before. Read their stories, learn from them, do your own research and make your own mind up.
