...nothing else, it was not the outcome that pro-lifers feared most--the compromise developed last month by Republican Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the only physician in the Senate, who has been an important Bush adviser on medical and health-care issues. Frist's plan would allow stem cells to be extracted from surplus embryos currently in stock and due for destruction in clinics and labs around the country, a supply that numbers between 100,000 and 1 million. Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, who was mildly critical of Bush's compromise, says he will introduce a broad stem...
...starred review. "A beautifully written and impeccably researched account...These issues have been discussed in more than one previous history, but no other writer has gone as deeply into the archives to marshall the strong proof that Levin presents."

With his decision, the Senator has sent a message to President Bush, who is currently embroiled in the most contentious issue of his short term: Should he or should he not give the go-ahead to federal funding for embryonic stem cell research? Frist's proposal...

If you decide regular self-exams make sense for you, ask a physician or other health professional to teach you how to do them right. The most important thing is to report any unusual changes to your doctor. Many breast cancers are still found by women themselves, often while showering or during sex. Even if monthly breast exams don't wind up saving lives, knowing what's normal and what's not for your breasts could help...
