  • THURSDAY JANUARY 30, 1975 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN P"C THF DOCTOR'S BAG ty Arnold kJcuu, M.7). Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Mi. 48823. Question: Is it possible to transfer a human embryo from the uterus of one woman into another before implantation? If not, is such research being conducted and how successful have they been? Answer: In humans, research has been done on fertilizing the egg outside of the woman's body and then implanting it into her uterus. Apparently, there have been some successes in terms of getting the implantations to take, though these successes have been far and few between. If such a procedure could be worked out, it would be a tremendous benefit to a number of women who produce normal eggs but have been unable to become pregnant in the usual way. The idea of transferring the embryo from one human to another raises immense ethical problems not the least of which involves the use of one person's body to provide a service for another when that service has to do with the very formation of human life. If the technique was sophisticated enough to permit women undergoing abortion to donate the developing fetus to another woman while not being subjected to any added risk, the idea would have immense potential. At this time the state of the technology is not that well developed. In cattle, however, where ethical problems are rather narrowly defined, it has been possible to prime certain choice cows with hormones to get them to produce many ova, fertilize these by artificial insemination with semen from choice bulls and then transfer the fertilized ova to ordinary cows. This increases the number of highly desired cows that can be bred in a given period of time. Such experimentation has been successful. ++++++++++ Question: My husband, a normally gentle individual, cannot tolerate a crying baby. He blows in the baby's face or gives him sharp raps on the back to stop him. We have a happy, quiet five-month-old who usually only cries when we change his diaper and when he is hungry. My husband thinks his methods are just harmless, but effective ways to stop crying. He also says you don't have time for problems about babies. Seeing him blow in the baby's face makes me feel violent towards my husband and I am afraid I am going to become a husband beater. Answer: Babies have relatively few ways of expressing how they feel and, relatively few ways of expending energy. Crying and then being responded to and having one's distress relieved is one of the earliest communication links. There are all sorts of baby cries, those that indicate hunger, pain, and probably plain old weariness. Blowing in the baby's face may be a harmless distraction to divert the baby's attention from what is bothering him, much as rattling something in front of it would be. Rapping on the back is unwise. Little babies should not be shaken, rattled, folded, bent or spindled. They are fragile. Their heads are heavy and still loosely attached to their bodies. Their brains can rattle and produce internal bleeding and subsequent addling. But, it doesn't sound as if you are complaining about your husband as an abusive parent. Perhaps your husband needs some reassurance that it's alright if the baby cries and perhaps you are over responding to your husband's attempts to harmlessly distract the baby. "HELLO, CHIEF? REMEMBER THAT MODEST SUM. OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS WE COUi-PN'T ACCOUNT FOR?. WEUv 1 THINK ITS TURNED UP...." SGA/UCB concerts entertain? Dear Editor: Recognizing the desire of the SGA/UCB to provide their fellow Catamounts with the finest in musical entertainment, I can only wonder at this latest group of concerts we've been treated to. It was my understanding when they mort- Rape charges against boy- dropped (CPS-ZNS)-A delinquency petition charging a 13-year-old with rape has been dismissed on the grounds that boys under 15 are physically incapable of committing the act. North Carolina Judge Gordon Gentry dismissed the complaint charging the boy with the second degree rape of a 12-year-old girl. The judge cited an 1864 North Carolina Supreme Court decision in which rape charges were dismissed against a 14-year-old. That 110-year-old decision cited what judges called the "physical impotency" of youths that age. Pictured above are the Original Drifters who will he nart of a double-header concert Sunday at 8 p.m. in Reid Gym. Also appearing will be the Tarns. Tickets are Si for students: $2 for all others. Bird's flagpole butt of jokes from p. 4 about, cute questions about when was the ship to leave; port, stuff like that? I don't want to hear anything funny about that flagpole ever again. Sure, I'm going to graduate now, but having to spend nine hours bolted by my hands to the cross-piece has changed my sense of humor. You'd be surprised by the relative few who look up, but apparently the flag-pole and the Trauma Requirement have been used many times these last few years. One other thing happened: as they let me down the next morning, Dr. Robinson drove up in the steam plant's old white Cushman and turned me on to some Demerol. I asked hirn why, and he said, "for the pain. For the pain." gaged Reid Gymnasium to hire Dickie Bett$ and his Amerikan Band the quality of talent coming to this (p) university would improve. Now we can guess wiiire all those funds actually went. Of course, I realize maintaining the cryogenic facilities necessary to such bands as the Four Flops, the Tames, and the Original, Recording, Touring ad nauseum Drifters costs money, but it seems to me if SGA/UCB is intent on resurrecting the musically dead such acts as Leslie Gore, or Booker T. and the MG's might repre= sent a better perspective. Until this situation is corrected 1 propose Reid Gym be renamed Myrtle Beach • West. (After all, our West is Best,) Meet me at O.D. C. W.
