Whilst I accept that a section is not the best option given a choice, it is definitely the best option if the baby is in a dangerous position or unable to be born naturally.
Also, I realise that a section would be an inconvenience for your friends but in the grand scheme of things a healthy baby and six weeks of taxi rides is probably the better option.
I had Maddie 'naturally' (not really natural as she was induced and I accepted all medicinal assistance) and I had Zack as a planned section. I was depressed for four months after having Maddie and so not very healthy, was in pain for a few weeks after having Zack but didn't suffer post natal depression for more than a few days. Both are happy and healthy children now. What I'm getting at is that no birth is the same, no reaction is the same and you have to go with whatever is right for the baby at the time and then work at getting over it afterwards.
I hope you're friend is ok.
