A wrinkled, saggy woman carrying a foetus? Yuk

Article Abstract:

Aversion to the older woman has traditionally been embedded in popular culture, and this has been reflected in reactions to recent cases in which women in their 50s have received infertility treatment and conceived a child. However, a recent series of articles written by senior consultants and philosophers challenges this view, claiming that older women should be helped to conceive. Traditional arguments against allowing older women to receive infertility treatment, such as low success rates, are now becoming irrelevant as treatment becomes more effective.

If crime is a disease then this is the cure

Article Abstract:

Research undertake in the US over a period of almost 40 years indicates that children from deprived neighbourhoods who receive two years of intensive nursery education are much less likely to become involved in crime in later life than those who receive no nursery education. They are also more likely to marry and stay married longer, own their own homes and earn a high salary. The UK Labour and Conservative parties should give high priority to nursery education as they consider ways of reducing crime.

Who'll bear an unwanted foetus?

Article Abstract:

The recent suggestion that spare embryos taken from women during fertility treatment should be donated to infertile couples has sparked off considerable controversy. The embryos were frozen in case the couple concerned wished to use them at a later date, but anti-abortionists are now suggesting that they could go to other infertile couples instead. The main area of concern is that unclaimed foetuses could be implanted in other women without the genetic parents' consent.
