Fetal surgery saves baby in historic procedure
In a landmark operation at Wayne State, Dr. Ruben Quintero used endoscopic tools to intervene on a four month fetus, tying a malformed twin's umbilical cord through needle size holes, enabling the healthy twin to develop. The success suggests wider use for correcting birth defects and improving fetal outcomes.

Fee proposed for immigrant asylum in United States
The INS seeks a $130 fee for asylum seekers and a waiting period before work permits. Regulations to be published soon would make the U.S. the only nation charging asylum applicants, part of border tightening reforms. The plan aims to fund more staff, curb backlog of about 300,000 cases affecting over 500,000 people, and limit work permits to those granted asylum or unresolved after six months.
