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.

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..
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.
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.
At first I thought the article was about an episiotomy.
Well, in the muslim mide, it's not even close to baing a fair trade. Remove the clitoris so women can't feel pleasure from sex means they will be faithful in marriage. That means they will go to heaven when they die. To a muslim, the afterlife is more important than this one so they don't care if it increases the likelihood of death. Death is immaterial to them.
At first I assumed that they were referring to episiotomy (sp?) at the time of delivery, not genital mutilation.
I find it interesting that when a female is cut at birth it receives all kinds of media attention and feminists and "human rights" groups falling all over themselves in the stampede to protest. Yet males have been undergoing cutting for thousands of years and nobody is protesting "the awful genital mutilation of males".
Not that I really want them too. But I find it hypocritical that feminists, Human rights groups and the NYT are silent on the issue of boys.
"Genital cutting"? I thought they meant the episiotomy!
Not for the squeamish...follow the link and scroll down only if you have a strong stomach. |
That has nothing to do with male circumsion! Good luck trying to stop this barbaric practice :(
Ahhhh, can't wait to get that burka and be under the control of these 3rd century monsters.
