[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 980754, member: 4816"] kLEIN, What should have been posted along with my last post is the following. Your statement on Infant Mortality rates worldwide in Industrial nations --to say the least is very missleading. I would hope that you did not do this intentially. An honest statement involving Infant Mortality Worldwide is the following : The leading cause of Infant Mortality worldwide is Premature or Pre-term. Canada, Japan, Germany and Austria do not consider a pre baby less than 500g as a living child. U.S all premature and pre-term are considered live infants. This make huge difference in the reported numbers ---more that accounts for the 1.5 percentage point between the U.S and Canada. Compare apples to apples or babies to babies and suddenly your touted Healthcare system does not look as good as you claim. While the U.S considers all premature as living babies and count them in the mortality rates ---many of the so called "Advanced Intellectual Industrialized Western Nations " consider them as miscarriages and do not count them in the mortality rates.:warriorsmiley: [/QUOTE]
