The lines in the palm, particularly the four main ones (life, fate, head, and heart) are actually formed before birth. The fetus awaits birth with closed hands, and the act of making a fist creates creases or lines in the hand.

Heyns is understandably tentative about such results. But he believes that decompression improves the circulation of blood-and therefore oxygen-from mother to fetus, giving it a developmental advantage over a child born after a normal, unaided pregnancy...

Court cases going back to 1929 give U.S. doctors almost the exclusive right to decide when abortion is necessary to save maternal life; several...
