Infant Mortality and Infant Life Protection Act Debate
Legislation prompted by high infant deaths prompts discussion of the Infant Life Protecting Act requiring nurse custody for children to be registered and inquests into each case. A morgue inquiry cites improper nourishment and premature removal from the mother as factors, with medical evidence noting an inherited disease and inflammation from inadequate feeding. The coroner cites nourishment failures and confinement as reasons for the fatal outcome.
