Although I have been intimately involved with this investigation since its inception, the study involves the entire male team of the Reproductive Endocrine Unit (REU) at the Massachusetts General Hospital, including Drs. William F. Crowley, Jr. (Unit Chief), Frances Hayes and Stephanie Seminara, as well as Suzzunne DeCruz...
...serious concern. Multiple pregnancies frequently end in miscarriage or stillbirth, and the risk multiplies with the number of fetuses. While septuplets have been delivered a handful of times, in no case have they all lived more than a few days or weeks. So Hauser, along with the McCaugheys' perinatologists, Drs. Paula Mahone and Karen Drake, patiently explained to the McCaugheys the standard option in such a situation: they could, if they chose, undergo "selective reduction"--a medical euphemism for the aborting of several fetuses so the others would stand a better chance of being born healthy...
...keep things as stable as possible, Drs. Mahone and Drake ordered Bobbi to bed just three weeks after the septuplets were discovered. On Oct. 15 she was moved into the Iowa Methodist Medical Center, where she could be put on medication to stave off labor and where she and the babies were within easy reach of the labor team that had already been assembled...
Grifo's eggs have not yet resulted in any births, but an upside-down version of the procedure has succeeded. At the St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., Drs. Richard Scott and Jacques Cohen have been taking cytoplasm--the nonnuclear part of a cell--out of young women's eggs and injecting it into the eggs of older women. One egg with refurbished cyotoplasm has grown into babyhood; another birth is expected next spring...
...Drs. Yvonne Bryson and Irvin Chen, who led the UCLA study, are convinced he was. His mother was HIV-positive when she gave birth, and blood tests at 19 and 51 days showed that the baby carried the virus too. But when the researchers retested the child at 11 months of age, the virus was gone. That seemed so wildly improbable that the scientists conducted more tests and still found nothing. When they re-analyzed blood from the earlier tests, though, the virus was still there. Could the samples have somehow become tainted with HIV in the testing lab? Such...
