    The death of a child is a major tragedy that impacts families, friends, and communities. Understanding the circumstances surrounding infant deaths may help prevent future deaths and make sense of the loss. The leading cause of death for infants between 1 month and 1 year is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It is important to focus on risk reduction for SIDS and support families experiencing the death of a child. Frequently, people fail to document critical information at the scene of a child fatality, making it difficult to determine the actual cause of death.

    ASPECTE ALE MORTALITII


    INFANTILE
    Mihaela Mnescu *
    Abstract
    The death of a child is a great loss to family, friends, and community. Understanding the circum-
    stances surrounding a child’s death is one way to help make sense of the tragedy and may help pre-
    vent deaths of other children. Reducing infant deaths is a major priority. Sudden Infant Death Syn-
    drome (SIDS) is the number one cause of death in infants between one month and one year of age.
    For this reason, it is important to focus on risk reduction activities related to SIDS and to support
    families at the time of the death of a child. A preventable death is one in which an individual or the
    community could have reasonably done something that would have changed the circumstances that
    lead to the death. Frequently, people at the scene of a child fatality fail to document critical infor-
    mation that is vital in determining the cause of the child’s death. All around the world there are
    many different opinions about ethical issues. For example, in Holland, there have been many dis-
    cussions about euthanasia. It is very important to guide the family and their volunteers through
    every step including: organizing and training the campaign committee, planning successful events
    and activities, working with the media, and finding multiple sources of funding.

    Key words: euthanasia, eugenics, child death.
