Christian Science Death Rate Invites Study
An editorial in the Boston Traveler notes the remarkably low death rate among 27 000 Christian Scientists in the mother church. It cites 2.32 per 1 000 last year versus Boston’s 19.7 per 1 000 and says policy holders in the Teaching Insurance companies show 8 to 20 per 2000. The piece suggests the figures push readers to examine Christian Science health claims.
