...Last year toxic discharges increased 23%. In Los Angeles urban runoff and sewage deposits have had a devastating impact on coastal ecosystems, notably in Santa Monica Bay, which gets occasional floods of partly processed wastes from a nearby sewage- treatment plant during heavy rainstorms. Off San Diego's Point Loma, a popular haunt of skin divers, the waters are so contaminated with sewage that undersea explorers run the risk of bacterial infection...
Surgeons at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California only last October transplanted a heart into Newborn Paul Holc. What made the transplant different was that the donor, a Canadian infant known as Baby Gabriel, was born anencephalic, that is, without most of her brain. Like virtually all anencephalics, she could not have survived more than a few days outside the womb; unlike most, Gabriel died before her healthy organs deteriorated. Then, early in January, surgeons in Mexico City announced that for the first time, they had successfully grafted tissue from a miscarried fetus into the brains of two Parkinson...
...standard: that death occurs when the infant's pulse and breathing have stopped. Thus anencephalics would be taken off the respirator at set intervals to see whether spontaneous breathing had ceased. When it stopped, the infants would be pronounced dead and their organs taken. The few medical centers like Loma Linda that handle anencephalic transplants currently follow similar protocols...

...life- support system to keep her organs healthy. Two days later, a test of her ability to breathe on her own was negative; three doctors, concluding all brain activity had ceased, declared Gabriel legally dead. Still on the life- support system, her body was flown to Loma Linda, Calif., where two days after her death, her heart was transplanted to Paul 2 1/2 hours after his caesarean delivery...
