List of cancer worries yields good news
The Cancer Blog
Aug 21st 2007 12:35PM I think its important to share the good news. Its often overlooked in all of the fear. Thats why I think services like this one http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/615470/Healthc?_id=wom=kg=jlt which links survivors and current patients is a great thing. It helps to show the positives to someone who is really in doubt- kate from thenewsroom.com , women health desk.
Giuliani and the Pro-Lifers
AOL Elections Blog
Aug 18th 2007 10:22AM Why does ANY MAN, regardless of his position in society, have ANY SAY in this issue? They will never have a baby, and never have to make this decision. I think men should not have any say in this discussion, or in making laws about it - leave this to the ladies guys- you can never understand. Also, I think if you are "pro-life", put your money where your mouth is, and start adopting some of those unwanted babies that women didnt abort- maybe if women thought that their babies would be taken care of (instead of growing up in a state instution) than they would choose adoption as a viable alternative.

Will we be able to know at birth what diseases we will grow up to have? and how will that change society? - kate from womens health desk at the newsroom.com
Canadian cancer official quits amid testing scandal
The Cancer Blog
Jul 28th 2007 1:17PM No one should scam the sick, but not all false results are intentional (here is an article about it - http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/517614/Health?c_id=wom=kg-jlt ) Health care professionals generally are trying to help people, and it really burns me when a few bad apples sully public trust.
