The Debate on the Lifespan of Multigravida Women: Conflict Between Scientific Evidence and Personal Experience

Professor Yoo Seong-ho from Seoul National University’s Department of Law and Medicine has ignited controversy online by asserting, "It is true that multigravida women pass away earlier."

On the 3rd, a shorts video titled "It is true that multigravida women pass away earlier" was uploaded to Professor Yoo's YouTube channel, 'Yoo Seong-ho's Dead Man Talk,' becoming the center of the debate.

In the video, Professor Yoo began by stating, "It is true that multigravida women pass away earlier."

In response to lawyer Seo Hye-jin’s question, "Is there any statistics that show women who have never given birth live longer?" he confidently replied, "Yes, that is certainly the case."

When lawyer Seo remarked, "Women who haven't given birth tend to age better. We often talk about that," Professor Yoo emphasized, "They do age better. That is also certain."

When Seo noted, "But I feel that not getting married is a bigger factor. There aren’t many people who cause worry," Professor Yoo stated, "The most important thing is childbirth, and not giving birth is the most critical factor; it is also true that there is less stress."

In response to Seo saying, "Living with someone continuously is very hard as well," Professor Yoo jokingly asked, "Is that so?"

Personal Experience vs. Statistical Facts: Intense Debate Among Netizens

Some netizens who watched the video refuted Professor Yoo's claims based on their own experiences.

From the example of "My mother-in-law had nine children and is currently 94 years old" to personal observations like "Among my acquaintances, the mom with three kids looks the youngest, and the unmarried women seem to age more," a variety of counterarguments were presented.

Conversely, other netizens supported Professor Yoo’s assertions, stating, "Why ignore statistics?" and "Koreans dismiss statistics by claiming their surroundings are different even when statistics are discussed."

Some expressed, "The local OB-GYN said that women’s bodies deteriorate the more children they have" or claimed, "There is a reason why Hollywood celebrities, despite facing criticism, try to give birth secretly through surrogates."
