The Friday File: To see if having children shortens your life, childless couples who sought in vitro fertilization (IVR) and were successful were compared to those who tried and were unsuccessful. Turns out women who ended up childless had a death rate four times greater than those who gave birth. For childless men, the death rate was twice than that of fathers. I wonder what twins do for lifespan.
