I posted stats on pregnancy/childbirth in developing vs. industrialized countries last year; I'm afraid that I don't remember which thread (although it may have been an abortion one), and the only number/trend I think I recall is that up to 1/3 of all women in developing nations have "significant" complications, and that figure is more like 1 in 250 in 'First World' women. But I could be soooo off... Developing nation women *do* have less breast cancer, as the risk decreases with more pregnancies and longer breastfeeding -- but I think I'd take the ability to regulate my fertility, thanks. :P Brain Turning To Swiss Cheese Now Maru __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
