I question this one too. Mice (and chipmunks) certainly but where I am rats aren't really that common.

#10 Which has been happening throughout the ages. I am sure that during the black death there were many who were saying now is not the time for children. When infant mortality rates were 50% and above, I am sure many were saying it is not the time for children. For some it will never be time, resources, etc..

#25 Wow. 6 minutes to live unless someone starts CPR on you and being aware of it. I've done CPR on thousands of people during my military and medical career and I cannot imagine being the recipient of actual effective CPR being done on me. Most times we crack the sternum by doing chest compressions. Manual ventilation must be uncomfortable and I am not even going to go into being intubated.
#16 An Irukandji sting cause this too.
