I wish you had published some quotes from the student, or her viewpoint, quotes from the paper, etc. It's okay to be skeptical, but I believe reading into her actions without considering her material makes me concerned with the neutrality of the article.
Which... well... I suppose I should have been circumspect in my…
I prefer 1Password. Also- has anybody actually gotten TouchID to work with the Amazon app? I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it on or off.
I noticed! But... didn't he just spam Gizmodo with an article about how it's annoying to spam a group of people with texts? Seemed ironic to me. Can't you guys just change article headlines anyways?
I noticed... it just seemed a little ironic that you kinda-sorta spammed Gizmodo readers with an article about how annoying it is to spam people with texts... Couldn't have Leslie fixed her own title after posting?
Dude... did Eric Limer just seriously repost an article that's already on gizmodo?!?
XKCD!
If anybody's still reading: imagine you're Zuckerberg. You find out, after the fact, that you have terrorists on Facebook. Do you not turn over their info? Do you not turn over their friend's info? Which is more important - your users' privacy, or national security? And if you're answer's "no, I would never" -…
No, there's nothing you can do if the government really wants you:
Well, if you find out, and it's not a hassle, I'd be interested to know!
Interesting aside (to me anyways): by "a physiologic variant of the female phenotype" do you mean morphology? Or is there a difference/distinction between the two?
Re. Studies: Oh very cool. I know, the AMA has issues sometimes, but I find myself on board with them 90% of the time if not more. I'm pretty sure if they, and the whole field, agree that non-disclosure is the best public health policy, that's the right way to go. I guess we weren't quite all on the same side, but…
Oh - I found something on Tone argument:
Well - I was trying to suggest that if a 9-year-old is a dead-end debate and a 16-year-old should be able to make their own decisions and get an abortion and is also a dead-end debate, then where does it switch over in the middle and why? Isn't that an important question?
It's really intense to hear from about these things first-hand. Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. I don't know what it's like, but it sounds like you've had it rough, and that sucks.
*sighs* This is just a general unawareness of what "invasive" means. "Invasive" means a medical professional entering the body, i.e. a medical procedure. So cotton-swabbing the inside of your cheek for DNA is invasive. And an incision (hopefully followed up by stitches) is invasive. But a knife wound isn't…
That's fascinating, I had no idea. It's definitely one way of approaching the problem. I wonder how far the emancipation extends. Emancipation opens up children (edit: I mean minors) to legal risks too, right? And what happens when it ends? It sounds like a mess, but it solves at least the abortion problem, I…
Well, this would have to be called endangerment (I think) and a court order would have to be obtained by a doctor. I don't know if this's ever happened. I expect some research could turn up some information. I know doctors can override parents' wishes in the case of blood transfusions, but I'm not sure of the legal…
I agree, sort of. The court is ruling in this case because at the moment this girl had no legal guardian capable of approving the procedure, as far as I understand. The law created this legally gray area and that's a problem on its own - there shouldn't be legally gray areas in our laws.
So, the thing is, medically speaking, invasive implies a procedure. A natural birth doesn't require medical procedures, so it isn't necessarily invasive. Modern birth can definitely include invasive procedures like c-sections and paracentesis, and if you're having a baby, probably should include invasive procedures…
