I'm almost beside myself that a study was required in the first place. Mess with mother nature and reap the whirlwind. Registration at the Lancet is free. Their editorial on this is also open access.
a 'study' that seems clinically horrible
I'm still waiting for the NY Slime to print the following headline:
Abortion raises by 100% Likelihood Mothers Newborns Will Die
Wild Birds 'Partly' To Blame For Bird Flu Spread
Ibuprofen Can Double Risk Of Heart Attack, Says Medical Study The Lancet article is linked on the thread. "Conclusions Selective COX 2 inhibitors are associated with a moderate increase in the risk of vascular events, as are high dose regimens of ibuprofen and diclofenac, but high dose naproxen is not associated with such an excess." Naproxen has a much longer half-life. Anyone who's prescribed a daily baby aspirin should take it one hour before NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors, IMHO.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
I lived in France 20 years ago, and the arabs would pay to fly in people from Algeria to do this to their little daughters, since no french doctor would do it for them.
religion of peace my a&&.
You have a point...
Hey, not to mention the ones who don't survive genital mutilation in the first place! I guess they don't fit into the statistics somehow? In their native countries, genital mutilation is done under less-than-sanitary conditions.
And NOW spends its time whining about Elizabeth Vargas and Geena Davis' cancelled TV show...
guess those crazy arabs just have a fondness for cameltoes.....sic..
By the same token, maybe you think we should start aborting their babies? This procedure is unbelievably cruel. I read an account from a survivor of this procedure in the Reader's Digest some years back. She was cut with a used, bloody razor with no anesthetic. She passed out from the torture. Years later, she still had female problems from the procedure. While I can't bring myself to describe in detail, I will say that not only was parts cut off, but the remaining open tissue was sewn together to make a very tiny hole, which tears horribly during childbirth. And you think it is okay as long as it keeps the population down.
Like I said, a culture that needs to die out.
Pray that the demonic/barbarian practice of female circumcision will be halted.
This world is still in the Dark Ages, to a greater or lesser degree according to district.
It is castration pure and simple IMO. The filthy animals who practice this on children should be castrated.
"Cutting"? "Cutting"?
It is genital mutilation. You better believe that if it were a Christian practice, ELISABETH ROSENTHAL NY TIMES would have the front page complete with pictures.
This Muslim practice of mutilating, and it is mutilating, a female child is so typical of the mindset of the Muslims.
Allah forbid that a woman know any joy or pleasure in this life. These people take the most natural thing in the world, and destroy it.
It's no wonder women die in childbirth. Scar tissue doesn't stretch.
Isn't this mainly a Muslim practice? I notice the Times manages to get through the article without saying much about whom the culprits are.
Yeah amazing... I may have missed it but not one damn mention that this is a muslim practice.
