This CBC reporter is looking for someone to interview for a story on infant mortality in Canada -- looks like someone who lost a child -- can anyone help?  Or is there really outside the ethical realm?

Does the infant mortality tally only count infants that die after a live birth?
What about stillborn infants?

I have found an incredible woman to tell her story, but she lost her infant at 18 weeks -- stillborn.

In 1980, Canada’s infant mortality rate was 10 deaths per 1000 births, which gave it a relative ranking of tenth out of thirty-four OECD nations. By 2005, Canada had improved that to 5.3/1000, a significant achievement, but that decline failed to match the pattern in other OECD nations — so much so that Canada’s ranking over that period fell from tenth to twenty-fourth. The infant mortality rate is now 4.5/1000, an improvement in absolute terms, but now our rank is a dismal thirtieth of thirty-eight OECD nations.
