I don't have hard statistics. Quite a lot of research has been done, so if nobody here has it to hand I can go look for it in my non-existent spare time. I understand that the proportion is generally reckoned as on the rise, but that may just be because it has traditionally been viewed as an aberration to be corrected, and although that still happens it is much less common in many large countries. cheers Charles On Wed, 11 Dec 2002, Bev Corwin wrote: > > >Very interesting.
