*** Quoting Danny Ceppa from a message to Andy Ball ***

DC> I just read sone stats on it the other day.  Cesaerian births are up 
DC> 30%   

And child as well as mother deaths are down almost the same amount.


DC> And, infant mortality for cesaerians is twice as great than that for
DC> a natural childbirths.  

Butnot caused by thge cesearians.  The child's status more often determines
¨that than the mother's.  IE:  High risk babies almost always delivered
that ¨way.

Statstics have to be looked at closely before they mean anything.
