   I am a 24 year old physics major. When I was 12 I watched my infant niece choke to death as I breathlessly awaited the arrival of emergency services in what the doctors would later attribute as SIDS.
   My niece was under the care of my parents at the time who had no motive to, as you would say choke the helpless infant to death. I watched my father perform CPR on her as the life drained out of her body. I watched her die. She wasn’t already dead. She wasn’t choked to death or smothered by a pillow. It’s a tragedy which still touches my entire family to this day.

   This wasn’t a baby “coming down with a bad case of SIDS” courtesy of the baby’s mother. My mother had been trusted the care of her sister’s newborn baby, while they were attending a wedding. Your generalization of SIDS to outright murder touches me closely enough that I felt, as a long time reader of your site, required to speak out. I realize the value of not censoring yourself while posting on this site, but I have to say these few posts cross the line into ignorant generalization.
