12% of young Britons believe Caesarean section a religious group

YOUNG Britons are clueless when it comes to the facts of life, a survey shows.

More than 20% of 18 to 25-year-olds questioned thought a pregnancy lasted a year, 10% believed eating red meat influenced the sex of a baby and half expected a baby to walk and talk within its first year.

The poll also revealed that 20% of the childless respondents thought the umbilical cord was a musical note and 27% admitted they would consider genetic engineering if it meant a better- looking baby.
