...hope our memory starts to fail soon and we forget all this talk about splicing a fetus' DNA to produce smart little human babies. If the technique of genetic engineering were implemented on humans, it would be the first step into Huxley's Brave New World. TURHAN SARWAR, AGE 14 Kenner...
Timothy McVeigh should have been charged with at least one more murder. That?s the line from the Christian Coalition, members of which were on hand Thursday as the House passed a bill that would make it a federal offense to harm a fetus while committing a federal crime. Under the coalition-backed Unborn Victims of Violence Act, McVeigh, one of the perpetrators in the Oklahoma City bombing case, would have one more offense on his rap sheet because a pregnant woman was among the casualties of the explosion. While no one can predict what will happen in the Senate...
Beyond that, says Dr. Lawrence Einhorn of Indiana University, who treated Lance Armstrong, "we have looked at several risk factors, and the only one that's really been proved is cryptorchidism." In plain English, that means undescended testicles. In a male fetus, the testicles normally develop inside the abdomen and descend into the scrotal sac before birth. In some cases, though, one (and sometimes both) of the testicles stays inside the body. The laggard normally drops into place in the child's first year of life, though surgery is sometimes needed to help it along...
Divining this in Barney's art, you can begin with the word cremaster. The cremaster muscle pulls the testicles up into the body and is an indicator in the fetus of male gender. Everything in the "Cremaster" series swirls dizzily from there: for him, biological destiny is a prison. Escape from it is a heroic act--in fact, a spiritual right. Thus his transmogrified, half-human creatures elsewhere; his fixation on Houdini, the impossibly malleable escape artist; and now his Gilmore, who spent the better part of his adult life in prison, only to be released into the world, where...
...quickly found a Planned Parenthood critique of the film; unsurprisingly, many of the film's central claims are undermined. According to Planned Parenthood, the fetus does not experience pain at 12 weeks, it does not make purposeful movements to flee the abortionist's tools, and it cannot emit a "silent scream." Moreover, the organization claims that Nathanson quotes inaccurate statistics, misuses medical sources and even accelerates the ultrasound video to make the fetus look more traumatized than...
