Stillborn #12

Open ametke opened 3 years ago

ametke commented 3 years ago

The lifeStatus property currently has the values alive, deceased and unborn. Do we need an additional one for stillborn?

Individual.lifeStatus seems to be measuring a "vital status" as well as a "birth status". I would recommend modeling those separately to more accurately capture the semantics, eg unborn suggests the Individual is unborn and alive right now. It may also help with #7 so one doesn't need to coordinate any existing terms or generate new ones.
