Looking at the report a bit though: "Pillow use, swaddling, maternal smoking, preterm birth, and fair or poor health were all more common among SIDS infants than among the other babies." The main point seems to be to me that there is far more involved than just co-sleeping, it's just that the issues become more pronounced in co-sleeping because so much more can go wrong. Aside from the above things there was also the mention of drugs, alcohol and smoking. The report seems to indicate to me that if none of the risk factors were involved then while it is still safer not to co-sleep, the risk is quite low, it's just when you bring those factors in. Which I guess is where the bias comes in, which certainly isn't fair. That seems to be pretty biased, you are right, it is discriminatory.
