Oh I quite agree - I needed two Caesareans, and the second one in

particular I was only too grateful for, as I knew she wasn't coming

out naturally (and I was right - she was 10lb 2oz and posterior; no

wonder!).

But that wasn't quite my point - I was talking about the gene pool

not being winnowed out like it was in ages past. Maybe us lot on

this forum are the ones who would not have survived childhood in ages

past.

How many of us here - serious question - were fighting fit & full of

beans until we were brung low by hypoT/AF issues? Not me, for sure.

Bring on bird flu, say I. Misery & grieving aside, the world will be

a better place for those left afterwards. In the sense of fitness of

the surviving gene pool, anyway.

Jeez I'm in an odd mood tonight.
