Little woman gives birth to big baby: Stacey Herald, a 33-year-old mother from Kentucky, who has a rare genetic disorder and is only 28 1/2 inches, gave birth to an 18-inch baby. Congrats!

Exchanged student's drastic weight loss: Jonathan McCullum moved to Egypt for a year abroad and found himself living with a host family who fasts for 200 days a year. After only four months,
Jonathan returned to the U.S. weighing 97 pounds (down from 155) and in danger of a heart attack, claiming he was denied food.

Teacher behaving badly: A private school English teacher was fired and faces charges for
sending topless photos of herself to one of her 15-year-old students. What is wrong with these female teachers lately?

Drinking Makes Bad Memories Linger:
A new study finds that alcohol doesn't erase your memories, but rather, locks them in. Researchers say you should instead overwrite a bad memory by thinking about something positive.

Sorry, but I don’t believe someone should be congratulated on their decision to deliberately choose to give birth to a child knowing there is a very high probablity the child will inherit a severely disabling and painful condition. News reports claim this child is not expected to suffer from the condition but their other child does. Why would anyone want their child to have this condition just to satisfy their own desires? I have been the mother of a severely disabled son for 40 years and have worked as a professional in the disablity field for almost as long. Life can be such a struggle for disabled people - how can someone choose this for their child?

Some disabled people live fuller lives than those healthy and unappreciative. Although I don’t work in the field, I can only say that we all deserve happiness and sometimes others won’t understand our decisions. Should everyone stop having children based on the possibility of a disability? There are so many health issues we pass down and if we stop procreating because of them, we’ve missed the very meaning of living. Let’s just wish their family well and worry about our own decisions.
