Did abortion law killed a pregnant teenager due to delayed chemotherapy?


The mother of a pregnant leukemia patient who died after her chemotherapy was delayed over anti- abortion laws is accusing doctors of not putting her daughter's health first.

The 16-year-old's plight attracted worldwide attention after she had to wait for chemotherapy because of an abortion ban in the Dominican Republic.

Doctors were hesitant to give her chemotherapy because such treatment could terminate the pregnancy -- a violation of the Dominican Constitution, which bans abortion. Some 20 days after she was admitted to the hospital, she finally started receiving treatment.

3 weeks ago, doctors at SEMMA started evaluating the teen for chemotherapy last week, pending an official decision on whether they could proceed with the treatment. Dilemma was pressing on doctors due to the country’s strict anti-abortion law.

Little Couch Potatoes Cannot Run Cannot Jump


Childhood is a critical time for the development of motor coordination skills which are essential for health and well-being.

Little couch potatoes have worse motor coordination than their active peers, which periodic bouts of exercise may not overcome, Portuguese researchers found.

Spending more than three-quarters of the day sedentary appeared to be a significant discriminating factor separating 9- to 10-year-olds with poor coordination from those with good coordination (P<0.05 for both boys and girls) in a study led by Luís Lopes, of Minho University in Braga, Portugal. It is clear that high level of sedentary behaviour is an independent predictor of low motor coordination, regardless of physical activity levels and other key factors.

Chinese Man Builds Himself Bionic Hands After 8 Years

If a man without a hand can build a pair of bionic hands for himself, we all should be able to craft ourselves a bright future as long as determination is present. Sun Jifa, a 51-year-old Chinese man who lost both hands when he was building a bomb for blast fishing, just build a new pair of bionic arms WITHOUT having hands.


Sun Jifa could not afford the hospital's prosthetic limbs after the explosive for blast fishing detonated prematurely, but desperately needed the use of his hands to work on the family farm. Instead of wallowing, though, the 51-year-old man from Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, just decided to build his own bionic hands.

Invention: Sun Jifa, lost both his hands when a bomb he was creating for blast fishing in Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, exploded prematurely
Invention: Sun Jifa, lost both his hands when a bomb he was creating for blast fishing in Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, exploded prematurely
Back to work: Sun Jifa, lost both his hands when a bomb he was creating for blast fishing in Guanmashan, Jilin province, northern China, exploded prematurely
Determined: The 51-year-old spent eight years making his bionic hand

'I survived but I had no hands and I couldn't afford to buy the false hands the hospital wanted me to have - so I decided to make my own,' he explained.
