Universal screening of pregnancies – guidelines

In medicine, a guideline published by a specialty association is more than a “suggestion.” If a doctor varies from that guideline, he or she is presumed guilty of varying from the standard of care. And had better find a defense lawyer, because there’s a good chance she’ll be sued for malpractice or, in the case … Continue reading

"Forcing" women to talk to their doctors

This pro-abortion rant from the San Antonio Current is really reaching: Frank Corte is a pro-life legislator who wants to control Texas’s women and health professionals. With HB 21, he wants to deny women the ability to review abortion warnings privately on video, and instead force them to hear it directly from the doctor; with … Continue reading

Housecleaning – note on error

I edited yesterday’s first article on the Amniotic/Placental stem cells reported in Nature Biotechnology.

“Con-Job,” “Deception” (Amniotic Stem Cells)

Don C.
