a face presentation cannot birth when the
mentum or chin is posterior, unless of course the baby rotates so that the
mentum is anterior then depending on the sacrum of the woman, the baby can birth
vaginally. It just depends how firmly the baby is in a mentum posterior
position.

Perhaps mechanical delivery is not possible, but
certainly a mother birthing a baby herself is possible even when the baby is
presenting face first. There was an excellent photo diary on the web last year
but was removed after a few weeks. I had printed off the photos and they are
just beautiful. I guess when a person calls a birth a mechanical delivery they
are not going to see many things that happen as nature intended, or is that
just my bias?
