So when the child eventually (I'm presuming here) has a child of her own, will the adult pass on the faulty mitochondria that would have come from her mother, the mitochondria of the donor, or an entirely new set of mitochondria (and if mitochondria is passed maternally would this just result in certain diseases…

I don't see anything wrong with Ludacris asking his ex to have an abortion. He expressed his opinion—which he had a right to do—and he was overruled by the women carrying the child, which was absolutely her right to do.

I work for a social service agency. I get paid to help people 5 days a week.

Ok, I don't mean to sound totally pissed off at you, but I *do* get extremely pissed when anyone acts as if 1) women are never culpable for anything as long as there is any difficulty in their lives and 2) more time is spent listing all of the reasons a women *can't* leave a bad situation than coming up with proactive…

<blockquote>You do know that women who expose their abusers or leave them are more likely to be murdered than those who haven't right?"</blockquote>

"Ummm... you do know that the consequences of her taking him to the doctor would have been exceeded those of having the child gone for a few hours right?"

"what makes anyone thing he would let her take her child to the hospital?"

I think this woman may have just been a bad mother, that probably wasn't her intention, but that was the sum result of her actions. Not everything is always totally the fault of the abusive boyfriend. She had 4 kids and I'm willing to guess that there were multiple fathers; she probably would have been pregnant in a…

What's under debate? I just told you that I read the book: Gavin de Becker does not claim to have come up with that quote. So at least that part isn't under any debate at all as far as I'm concerned. I don't know who originally came up with the quote—other than what has been said here—so I'll accept that it can be…

I've partially read that book by Gavin de Becker, he DOES NOT claim that he invented that saying. He admits that he's rephrasing the quote after he heard it elsewhere.

An appropriate response from Moran would have been: "No, I don't intend on asking her [Dunham] that question because she has already been asked—and answered it 50 times. I don' t want to beat a dead horse."

The song doesn't do the video justice.

I think you should have just tried to find a black hairstylist who had experience with your hair. I think it's presumptuous to expect a white hipster hairstylist to have as much experience working with natural black hair as the stylist has working with relaxed black hair or other textures.

I completely agree with you.

Mama Ike Lochte is just trying to clean up her son's reputation. "Oh, yes, my really nice sweet son takes nice sweet girls on one or two dates AND NEVER CALLS THEM AGAIN because he is such a nice sweet guy. OBVIOUSLY, he doesn't have have sex with the girls on these dates before he stops calling them and OBVIOUSLY he…
