That demand reflected a dilemma for Iran's 14,589,000 women. Under the Shah's rule they have become the most emancipated women in the Middle East, except for those in Israel and Lebanon. Among its other efforts to modernize Iranian society, the Tehran regime has worked to improve the condition of women. Nearly 40% of the students in Iran's universities are women. The government-financed Women's Organization of Iran has set up day care centers, marriage counseling centers and classes to teach women to read and write. Women now do much...

...abdomen. Others are not fastidious enough; the dialysate bags must be handled with extreme care to avoid dangerous abdominal infections. Still, peritoneal dialysis has important advantages. CAPD's developers, Chemical Engineer Robert Popovich and Nephrologist Jack Moncrief, both of Austin, Texas, point out that it is simpler and, except for infections, less risky than using a kidney machine at home. A patient, for instance, can safely sleep through the procedure without the risk of bleeding to death if a tube is disconnected. Also, CAPD puts less strain on the heart, since no blood ever leaves the body, and thus...
