Should Pregnant Women Be Medical Test Subjects?
The recent H1N1 swine flu virus was certainly deadly for the population as a whole, killing 305 Americans, but pregnant women were at a disproportionally higher risk for death.

They were four times more likely to be hospitalized, with a much higher death rate.
