...Studies have shown that after surgery, patients often lose 50% or more of their excess weight - and keep it off - and symptoms of obesity-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea are improved or eliminated altogether. Now, two new studies in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) show another long-term benefit: a lower risk of death...
...Portnoy's shrink believes, in Superbad it is thoroughly, stunningly clueless and as violently tremulous as a divining rod at Hoover Dam."

One other paper, a Chinese study published in 2004, also in the American Journal of Epidemiology compared three groups of women - those who had no abortion, one surgical abortion or one medical abortion - and found no difference among them in risk of low birth weight or premature birth...
