What price parenthood?

Current reproductive technology challenges us to think seriously about social values surrounding childbearing. Thoughtful discussion must combine careful attention to the experience of pursuing parenthood by technological means with principled reflection on the morality of this pursuit.

[The human electroencephalogram during the mental recall of emotionally colored events].

The role of the left and right brain hemispheres in mental reproduction of emotional states by human subjects was analyzed using a new technique of EEG power spectral analysis in narrow frequency bands. At the maximal emotional tension joy was shown to be characterized by an increase in the alpha peak frequency. On the contrary, sorrow accompanied by a decrease in this value. We think that the left hemisphere (as well as the right one) participate in the development of emotional reactions.

Differential drawing size associated with unilateral brain damage.

Size of Greek Cross reproductions was compared using 35 persons having unilateral right (RHD), 35 having unilateral left (LHD) hemisphere damage and 38 non-neurologic controls. With right hand tapping speed statistically controlled, RHD drawings were significantly larger than LHD reproductions. Spatial Relations scores were significantly associated with drawing size in the RHD group only, following adjustment for right hand tapping speed. Aphasia Screening scores were unrelated to drawing size. These data demonstrate that LHD/RHD drawing size differences are independent of any basic motor impairment and that for RHD subjects, drawing size is positively correlated with visuospatial impairment.

Human rights dynamics of abortion law reform.

The legal approach to abortion is evolving from criminal prohibition towards accommodation as a life-preserving and health-preserving option, particularly in light of data on maternal mortality and morbidity. Modern momentum for liberalization comes from international adoption of the concept of reproductive health, and wider recognition that the resort to safe and dignified healthcare is a major human right. Respect for women's reproductive self-determination legitimizes abortion as a choice when family planning services have failed, been inaccessible, or been denied by rape. Recognition of women's rights of equal citizenship with men requires that their choices for self-determination be legally respected, not criminalized.

[A syndrome of visuo-verbal and visuo-gestural disconnexion. Optic aphasia and optic apraxia (author's transl)].

A 71 year-old female patient was investigated during several months after a double left hemispheric lesion of vascular origin. The larger lesion was temporo-occipital, the second one parietal. The main neurological disorder was a right homonymous hemianopia. Clinical and neuroradiological data confirmed the integrity of the right hemisphere. There was neither a global deterioration of intellectual capacities nor aphasia. In particular, visual agnosia was excluded by a series of matching and functional classification tests. Nevertheless the objects and their pictures, which the patient could recognize, could not be named. The lack of words was limited to the visual modality. No apraxia neither ideomotor nor ideational was present on verbal commands, but the evocation of movements for the use of objects was deficient if the stimulation was visual. This disorder is considered in the frame of the visual-gestural disconnection and thus represents what we propose to call visual apraxia. Further we discuss the disorders of constructive apraxia which are characterized by the poor reproduction of models when executed by the right hand whereas the reproduction by the left hand is incorrect.
