...they would not have accorded such protection to fetuses that had been aborted. The proposed rules spelled out conditions under which experiments - including the temporary maintenance of life by means of an artificial placenta - could be conducted on them. Some research physicians feel that such experiments could give them valuable in formation on the causes of miscarriage as well as the effects on the fetus of drugs taken by pregnant women. Others believe that the opportunity to study live fetal tissue, which grows rapidly, might help them to understand better the uncontrolled multiplication of cancer cells...
...revised guidelines, which must still be approved by NIH Director Dr Robert S. Stone and the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, ban all experiments involving women about to undergo abortions if they might harm the fetus, and prohibit any experiments that would prolong the life of an abort ed fetus once its ultimate survival is judged to be impossible. Few research ers are expected to violate the ban, which applies to any American scientist receiving NIH support. Anyone who does can lose federal support for all other research he may be conducting...

Maynard confesses that at 13 she was virtually enslaved by the fashion pages of Seventeen (she still has every copy since 1965), nearly traumatized by LIFE'S cover photograph of an unborn baby ("that eerie fetus") and mesmerized by the very worst of TV ("five thousand hours of my life into this...
...clarification. The mother's blood cells do not destroy antibodies in the baby's blood. Blood cells of the baby that leak into the mother's circulation, during gestation or at the time of birth, stimulate antibody production on the mother's part. These antibodies, which can enter the fetus's circulation, then destroy the baby's red blood cells. Furthermore, it should be made clear that any transfusions that are performed are done at birth, not intra-uterinely. Mark R. Burns...
...horror of infanticide might be accommodated within my argument in several ways: first, our growing uncertainty as the infant grows about the point where rudimentary rational capacities actually set in. Second, the fact that the infant represents a much more intense focus of value than does the fetus by virtue, if nothing else, of its greater capacities and potential, but also by virtue of its more visible presence. (I am clear that its visible presence could not be used to create or extinguish rights if they existed by virtue of another argument. If the fetus has rights, the fact that...
