...ideal solution: it assures a proper oxygen supply while putting off the infant's inevitable death. "There is no ethical problem with using the organs after the child is dead," says George Annas, professor of health law at Boston University School of Medicine. "The problem lies in the process of getting the child from alive to dead." There are certainly precedents for keeping donors alive artificially for the benefit of others. Accident victims, for example, are frequently kept on respirators to keep their organs fresh...

Janice Raymond, professor of women's studies at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is concerned that such attitudes, as well as practices like surrogate motherhood, have already begun to erode women's control over the childbearing process.

Front-loading enhances the importance of doing well in the first two major competitions. Voters in the second and third rounds, having seen little...
Michigan Republicans decided to stage the earliest selection process of any this year, beating out even Iowa. They returned to a kooky, multitiered convention system starting 27 months before the general election. As the regulars slept, conservative supporters of Pat Robertson and Jack Kemp took over the party apparatus. When George Bush's partisans woke up, a series of bruising lawsuits followed. After last week's debacle, the result may be a contested delegation. Says Field Reichardt, a moderate who helped draft the Michigan plan: "We should never have done this. In the short run, it's causing our party...
