You mean preemies? That's true.

To clarify my original question, I am asking about whether there is a higher incidence of young people dying of cancer, heart attacks, and strokes (to name the Big 3), as well as car accidents, fires etc. Not about rare illnesses or genetic illnesses. Though that can be a separate question - are there more people dying of relatively rare illnesses? |
I don't know if there are highere incidences of young people dying or car accidents etc - but it certainly feels like it. The Jewish world is so big yet so small - every single tragedy is really felt at the bottom of every jews heart and makes big waves in the community. You will always know somebody who knows somebody that is somehow connected to the tragedy.
