Birth defects tied to fertility treatments in Australian study
A large Australian study found no higher birth defect risk for natural conception versus standard IVF once maternal age and smoking are accounted for. Risk rose with injecting a single sperm into an egg, especially for male infertility, at about 10 percent versus 6 percent in natural conceptions. The study suggests infertility itself may influence risk.

Governor Eyes Lawmaker Pensions in Reform Plan
The General Assembly Retirement System is only 26 percent funded with 66 million in assets and 252 million in liabilities, covering lawmakers and the governor. Lawmakers contribute 11.5 percent, far above teachers and other state workers. Key reform ideas include reducing cost of living adjustments and raising contributions, with a proposed choice for employees between new benefits or keeping current benefits plus health-premium changes.
