Christopher Morris has been a TIME contract photographer for 20 years. Renowned for his shots of war zones around the world, he began covering politics for the magazine eight years ago, shortly after the birth of his first child.

Indeed, says Abel, her data hinted at such a response - compared with women who lost a parent, those who lost a child appeared to have a higher likelihood of giving birth to a child at risk for schizophrenia - but her sample size was too small to confirm the theory...
