But in the 1960s, surgeon's began using microscopes to sew what previously had been almost invisible blood vessels and nerves in limbs. Their sewing technique had been developed on large blood vessels over a half century earlier but could not be used in microsurgery un ...

A method that is useful for preventing pregnancies temporarily is not necessarily adequate for the woman who wants to stop child bearing completely.

... 15 and 19 get pregnant every year, 83 percent of these pregnancies are unwanted or unplanned. Half of the unmarried teens who get pregnant do so within six months of their first sexual experience. In fact, between 1986 and 1990, teen childbearing increased by 16 percent. What’s worse, pregnant teenagers often don’t see a doctor until the time of delivery.

In some experiments done by the University of Montreal, they are comparing good adult readers to dyslexic adult readers. In m ...

An abortion with no complications can cost as little as $500. On the flipside, if something goes wrong during or after the procedure, such as excessive bleeding by the female, externally or internally, or other complications, an abortion can be very costly, easily up into the thousands.
