The processes of life are wondrous, indeed. Though much has been learned about the technical intricacies of |pregnancy| and |childbirth|, for example, the notion of life itself is still overwhelming. On our planet, over five billion people are engaged in the day-to-day occupations of life, from conception to death. In spite of this dramatically large number of people, each person is unique, a notion which, in itself, is cause for reflection. Here are discussed some of the aspects of life and living. The human body is admirably suited to its task of going forth to multiply, and the processes and consequences of conception, |pregnancy|, and |childbirth| are discussed here. Also detailed are |birth rates|, mortality rates, and |population growth| statistics. Other biological changes in the anatomy which occur during the course of one's life, such as menstruation, male pattern baldness, and |menopause|, are also included.
