Andrea Yates verdict - huh?

[Malakar]

Not from the sites I've looked at. It seems to be steady across all generations. The cause of PPD and PPP is hormonal imbalances after birth. What happens is one of the hormones, I can't remember the name, drops to non-pregnancy levels within hours after birth. It is this hormonal drop that can lead to PPD and PPP as the hormonal drop off affects each woman differently (some show no issues, others get PPD, the rare tragic few end up with PPP). So, if it was something that was caused by familial genetics, it would have dropped off considerably over time as those that had these traits were removed from the gene pool, but it hasn't.

PPD and even suicidal PPP do not interrupt transmission of genetics, so we are left with infanticide. The figures were what, 4% of 0.1-0.2%? So that results in a 0.006% rate, which could reasonably be a rough figure on mutation rate, no?

6) Get a large wood chipper, and feed Andrea Yates into it.

Occhi, you disappoint me. Here I thought you were a civilized man that would be concerned with energy conservation. We should obviously eat her.:)
