「生む」と「生まれる」

Do you consider the verb 生まれる as just the passive form of 生む, do you consider it a verb on its own right, or do you think it really doesn't matter?

I don't think there's anything to debate about the origin. It's from the passive of 生む. But since it has nuances that go beyond merely being the passive of 生む, it needs its own entry.
