...society as technologically far along as the U.S., we do a surprisingly poor job of looking after our tiniest members. About 99% of all births in the U.S. take place in hospitals, yet we rank 29th in the world in infant mortality - below Hungary and tied with Slovakia and Poland - with 6.71 deaths per 1,000 live births. That compares to a rate of about 3.5 deaths per 1,000 live births in Far Eastern and Scandinavian countries such as Singapore, Japan, Norway and Sweden.

Kirk's birth in deep space, when his father makes a noble sacrifice to save the lives of others, including that of his infant son precisely as he makes his way down the birth canal.

...answer to Joel Stein's question "Should I Opt for Circumcision?" is absolutely not [April 27]! I was circumcised as an infant by a respected doctor. I had to have a second operation 25 years later to correct this doctor's incomplete work. At the time, I researched the rationale for the procedure. Other than the rare medical need, I found no rational reason to inflict unnecessary pain on one's child. To circumcise is to allow antiquated cultural mores and parental expectations to dictate one's life. David A. Dorwart, MANSFIELD, CONN...

...person had contact with someone who traveled to Mexico.” In Mexico, the country of origin for the current spread of swine flu, 160 people have died of complications from the disease.
