The method promises mass prenatal testing by isolating a few fetal cells, potentially reducing risks compared with amniocentesis. Critics warn of abortion pressures and governmental misuse, urging guidelines.

Heat and Cold Therapies Stir Cancer Research Advances
Chicago surgeons report using extreme temperatures to aid cancer treatment and scar tissue removal in infants. A hot water blanket raised body temperatures to 42.5 C in three patients, with one showing marked tumor response. Harvard researchers counter Hungarian pill studies on birth outcomes, noting larger samples and differing results.

Dr Dunnihoo said some doctors will perform it if others refuse, reflecting a shift toward patient choice over paternalism. He noted higher blood loss and more complications with hysterectomy and a greater chance of postoperative mood changes.
