- "Woman" is perfectly correct medically terminology DODie. We use the
- word all the time, and there is no confusion. "Child" on the other
- hand, is not nearly so clear, and is, instead, replaced by such terms
- as fetus, neonate, adolescent, and other terms which are not so apt to
- be confused or misrepresented.
- But congratulations DODie! You managed not to post any outright lies
- in this article! Your therapy making progress finally?
