Well, yes, that would be interesting... The studies we're looking at 
are, of course, retrospective. In this latest one, it seems that the 
parents were asked by grief counsellors about position and use of 
pacifiers, right? So here the question to be asked to the parents would 
be: "Was the baby actively sucking when he died?" or "Was he latched on 
just before he died?"

What's your hypothesis? Mine is that yes, fewer babies will die from 
SIDS while sucking on a breast than on a pacifier.
