Practice The Doctors' Death

Practice of euthanasia or revocation of a human life in ways that are deemed not to cause pain, is still a matter of controversy in many countries. However, a British doctor claimed to have practiced it long enough.

As reported by the Telegraph.co.uk is dr. Michael Irwin who claimed to have given advice to dozens of people to give up his life or he termed as 'Dignitas'.

"I have given advice to about 25 or 30 people, who finally decided to give up his life, though some are eventually not do it," he said.

Not only provides advice directly to the patient through face to face at his clinic in Switzerland, he also admitted a lot of people who contact him by phone for consultation. Doctor Irwin claimed to want to give advice on more people related to Dignitas.

80-year-old doctor is a former United Nations medical director who became vocal supporters of euthanasia for decades. He previously led the 'Voluntary Euthanasia Society', otherwise known as Dignity in Dying.

In 2003, the doctor had been arrested for claiming to try to help his friend to death, because it never healed from illness. But he was later released without charge.

Practice does now, of course not without problems. In this week admitted he made a commotion because it tries to help a 91-year-old arthritis sufferer though her ​​condition still healthy.

Pain Relief Drugs Increase Risk of Miscarriage

Be careful taking painkillers containing ibuprofren when planning a pregnancy until the age of the womb 20 weeks. A study found that women who mengasup ibuprofen just before pregnancy until the age of 20 weeks of twice the risk of miscarriage.

Scientists warn that tens of thousands of pregnant women during pregnancy ibuprofen mengasup without realizing the dangers. Although there are clear warnings about the dangers of drugs during pregnancy, one in six pregnant women still drink the pain reliever ibuprofen.

The study involved a group of painkillers known as non-steroidal or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) including ibuprofen and naproxen. Aspirin is one of these categories although not included in the study. While paracetamol is considered safe during pregnancy.

The researchers believe, the intake of drugs causing the embryo is not attached properly in the womb so that women are more likely to suffer a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion.

About one in eight pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and the majority occur within the first 12 weeks. Often, the cause of miscarriage is not clear, but older women, drink alcoholic beverages or obese have a much higher risk.

The study, published in the journal Canadian Medical Association involving 47 050 women aged 15-45 years. They asked if mengasup painkillers for two weeks before pregnancy to 20 weeks of pregnancy. And one in six pregnant women admitted taking painkillers.

Dr. Anick Berard of the University of Montreal said, "We consistently see that the risk of spontaneous abortion was associated with the use of diclofenac, naproxen, celecoxib, ibuprofen and rofecoxib alone or in combination during pregnancy. Women who mengasup type and dosage of non-aspirin NSAIDs during early pregnancy more likely to have a spontaneous abortion, "he said as the Daily Mail published.

However, a miscarriage due to painkillers is small. The study also did not account for other causes such as smoking and obesity. Dr Virginia Beckett, a spokesman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said, "It is important that every woman reduce risks when planning and during pregnancy to reduce complications to a healthy lifestyle.

Know Pregnancy Reproduction Fetus Gender

Easy for every pregnant woman to know the sex of the fetus is still in the womb. However, those who live in the European Union may have to wait until birth to find out the sex of her baby.

In the draft rules being drawn up the Council of the European Union Committee said that physicians are prohibited from providing information on the sex of the fetus to the patient. Not merely to shock, but after pressing the abortion rate among women who want children with a specific gender.

If the rule will apply, doctors and nurses or other medical workers in the region will menghandapi threat of jail when reckless leak information about the sex of the fetus in the womb of his patients.

The draft rule is also reaped the attack protests from a number of medical workers. Because, knowing the sex of the child in the womb is one of the rights of patients.

Founder Mumsnt sites, which focus on childcare, Justine Roberts, also disappointed by the draft rule. "I understand a lot of problems in the area of ​​sex, but very silly when this rule is set in a country that did not indicate a problem," he said, as quoted from the Telegraph.

Council of the European Union, based in Strasbourg was not able to force all the countries in the region to comply with their wishes. However, they have the ability to influence political policy of these countries, and often succeeded.

In the UK, almost all pregnant women know the sex of their child after the age of 12 weeks of stepping content. Nevertheless, a number of health centers had refused to provide information for fear of triggering an increase in cases of abortion. One of them Colester Hospital Foundation Trust.

However, Colester Hospital Foundation Trust has changed its policy last month after a pregnant woman campaigning for the right to know the sex of the fetus. The case sparked outrage Natalie Mann, the woman from Claton, Essex, who must not know the sex of the fetus is 20 weeks old.

The draft rules will be discussed all members of the council which consists of 318 members of parliament from 3 to 7 October.
