Read my post 12. When you don’t count babies with a heartbeat and/or breathing as live births in the first place as we do in the United States, it completely distorts longetivity measures.
Foreign countries, including Canada, Britian, France, etc. don’t count a baby as a live birth unless it passes a number of steps that are NOT even considered in the United States. If it has a heart beat or breaths it is a LIVE BIRTH in the United States while overseas and in Canada such a baby could still be counted as a still birth if it dies within hours or even days of complications.
Fact: ANY country in the world stating they have lower infant mortality rates than the United States doesn’t count all babies born ALIVE AS BEING BORN ALIVE.
