I was told (but never researched it myself) that it was pushed through by the Undertaker's "union." If a 350 grammer is a "birth," it has to be BURIED. Hence, follow the money.

In NH the legislature defined a "live birth" as > or = 500 grams - and most of those were < 26 weeks and previable. But they got reported as live births ot still borns and what were essentially 2nd trimester spontaneous abortions were part of the dismal statistics. I am not sure if it is still the NH definition, but this type of state by state decision on "what counts" makes it tough to compare "statistics" of one country to another. It makes us "look" worse regardless of how well we care for the 26 week infant and older. Joanne At Thu, 27 Apr 2006, Laure wrote: >
