Letter: Letters: Left in doubt

Published 16 April 1994

From ALAN PARKER

Q: As a left-handed person I was both amused and annoyed by your article
‘Sudden death for left-handers’, (Science, 12 March) which suggested that
left-handed people are at greater risk of accidental death. How can this
be? Surely a right-handed person has just as much chance of dying accidentally
as I do. Or is there some unknown factor involved?
