Thus is not world news. I don't want to get gore local news in my feed. Thanks

Why is it not world news? Every news article is local to somewhere.

Not the one with the complaint, but I can see their point. Decapitations during birth happen around the world several times a year, with only some of those cases ever going to the news. When they do hit the news, they spread quickly because of the shock factor. Yet the general public may come away from this not realizing it's is far from the first time and won't be the last.

I'd say this would make a great world news article if some of the prior cases from across the world were also mentioned, and the bigger issue of women being dismissed by their doctors was prominently referenced with supporting studies.

Yikes, really? New fear unlocked.

I guess another example of this would be bubonic plague. It ticks away in the background and every once in a while people freak out.
