One of my friend's sisters gave birth to a little girl 7 months ago. I think she is a beautiful baby, but the medical problems that she has are unbelievable.
She is deaf and blind, her brain is malformed so it is essentially only a shell surrounding fluid. She must go to the doctor for weekly injections of a growth hormone, because her body is not producing it, and she is expected to need a liver transplant within the next year.
Her mother had 7 miscarriages before having her, and was told by the doctors that the likelihood of her having a healthy child were slim to none. She herself had to recieve hormone injections during pregnancy because her body was rejecting the baby.
She is now planning to place her child for adoption, but she plans to try having another baby. Does anyone else see this as completely wrong?
This whole situation has me really upset right now. I would honestly tie her tubes myself if she were here...
What do you think?

Yes there are a lot of us men who think women are second class citizens but all you feminists who say women are better then men are just as bad. We have our obvious physical differences but when it comes to who’s smarter and more productive to society etc... You can't look at someone based on their gender...you have to judge that person as an individual and take into account their background and personal attributes and beliefs. I’m posting this just because in the women and gender studies section there are so many women who say that they are the superior gender. That may be true or untrue im not here to argue that but im just saying you can’t judge someone on whether they have a vagina or a penis. You extremist feminists are just as bad as chauvinistic men.(I know not all feminists think they are better then men just equals and this isn’t directed towards you) Agree? Disagree?Thoughts?

Lily, my 5 month old Boston Terrier has been coughing for about 4 days and has watery RED eyes and a slightly runny nose. She seems energetic and her crazy lil self still...it's just the symptoms above. She was treated for it about 3 weeks ago when we first got her and the vet gave her some cough syrup and an antibiotics called Clavimix (sp??) and it seemed to work, but now a week later it seems to be back...any suggestions, tips, advice, stories?? Does this sound like something different?

Well since about a few months ago I have had this on and off problem. I throw up randomly usually in the shower.It is not a lot the most I have thrown up was like 1/4 cup I know this sounds really gross but I would really appreciate some helpful answers. Most of the time I can hold it back but I really would rather not. I haven't had any major things in my life change or anything so I am really lost. Wel actually I was diagnosed w/ depression back in Oct. but I feel a lot better now I didn't take any ati-depressants or go to a srhink I am just a lot happier now, thankfully. I tryied telling my mom about it a couple of months ago but I was smilling when I was telling her it so she though that I was just doing it for attention which mad me sad. Sometimes I laugh or smile when I am nervous so that really stinks. The thing is I don't feel dizzy or sick after I throw up I feel fine and it hasn't affected my wieght at all. I am 13 105-110 lbs and 5' 2".Should I be worried?

I know someone who was brought here as a kid by his parents and fell out of status and is now here illegally. He is contemplating whether to move back to his country of origin(a European union nation) or to wait here for a reform or maybe get married and get his papers. He wants to be a lawyer, but is not sure if he can earn as much money in europe as he can in usa and weather he can adjust to a new country all over again. What do you think?

I had an old Minolta SLR and now that I've considered shoveling out the cash to upgrade to a real DSLR instead of my cheap Kodak DSLR-like, I want to know what's a good Minolta DSLR, so that I can still use all my old lenses and filters, but have a high-quality digital SLR.

Now I know that viruses don't really have "cures", but I can't think of the word presently. When I woke up, I just had a really bad fever going up to 105 degrees. Then, my arms and my legs were almost completely asleep, like I couldn't control them, except for my fingers.
I went to see the doctor, and accidentally threw-up (tossed my cookies) on him. That didn't exactly make him that happy, but his assistant told me that they weren't quite sure about this virus I had, and to check back tomorrow. However, I got a call from them that informed me they had already checked with their affiliates, and nobody knew about this. Apparently there were some symptoms I hadn't noticed, which I was notified about. I was supposed to answer a medical survey to verify the problem, or something like that.
I just got back, but now I have trouble breathing, I feel like my legs are little twigs, and I can't walk.

I would like to hear more, but I'm scared, so I would like to know from all of you.

That is Injuns. I mean how would she know she was the prettiest squaw in the tribe.

Or how was warpaint applied. By other warriors in the wigwam?

Excuse the ignorance, I come from England where the natives got bashed up by the Romans a long time ago. They would see their blue faces in the shiny Roman armour before they were stabbed to death by the short sword.
