Your train of thought is both ridiculous and dangerous. Got news for you, the umbilical cord is attached to the placenta which is no longer required to feed the baby nutrients and oxygen post-partum - this is where breast milk and breathing air takes over. There is some debate on when to clamp the cord prior to cutting, but there is no debate about cutting the cord, which has been done for millennia. Umbilical cords can strangle the baby, get infected, and cause other health concerns that REQUIRE it to be severed shortly after birth.

Furthermore, "offspring" comes from Old English. Not Latin.

"Ward" also comes from Old English "weard" meaning guard. It has evolved to mean guard, position, and direction. Ward is no more a "prison" term, than award, forward, inward, wayward, or outward. But your post is most definitely backward.
