I only knew one child when i was growing up who died, and he committed suicide. So maybe kids did die, but you couldn't prove it by me.
And we're seeing now that being raised in an aniseptic home is proving to be more dangerous to kids than going out and playing in the dirt and mud of the real world.
Our bodies, after all, were adapted by God or Nature, take your pick, to live in caves, eat whatever food was available, seldom if ever wash, never use deodorant, etc. Sure, I prefer life today to then, or at least to what I imagine life was like then -- maybe I would have liked it. But the world has changed a lot faster than our biology can keep up with. |
