The company's materials already make that clear.

I had this test when I was AMA and pregnant with my son. The test was administered by a physician with genetic counseling. The counselor I met with made very clear that the test was a screening test only, NOT diagnostic, and that it would NOT be 100% accurate. She said this repeatedly, explained what it meant, and

TATIANA MASLANY FINALLY!!!!!!!

Agree somewhat, but I just don't see that Jay could have pulled off an effective freme-up after the fact, even with the police's help. He would also have had to have done at least a few things to set Adnan up, particularly with respect to the cell phone calls, and making sure Adnan didn't have an iron-clad alibi. If

I think his motive is speculative based on what WE have heard — what he and, in fact, all his friends say about how he dealt with the breakup, but the jury? I can see them buying that pretty easily; "jilted angry boyfriend" is pretty easy for a jury to digest. Adnan didn't testify, and it's not clear how effectively

Yeah. This is my hesitation with the "Jay did it" theory. I just don't see Jay being smart enough to successfully frame Adnan — he would have slipped up somewhere (though if Asia really did see Adnan in the library, maybe that is the "slip up?" IDK). Also, Jay's motive is really speculative, and I don't think

I've been an attorney AND a juror, and I agree in a sense; this case really came down to credibility—if you believe Jay, then Adnan is guilty, full stop — and even SK suggests that she thinks Jay sounded realtively credible on the stand, and that the cross examination was not successful at discrediting him or

I have have the opportunity to poll several juries in my career and in over half of the cases at least one juror pointed to the defendant's failure to testify as a reason for believing he was guilty. :/

Ditto. I think I'm probably older than you (I always assume I'm older than anyone on the internets) and while I never really followed this story in any depth, I definitely had knowledge that this was a thing. So when I heard the joke, I immediately assumed that was the reference.

Oh, we are totally agreed.

I know, I realized just after I posted that I should have pointed that out as well!

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. Also, his comments re: feminism and raising girls were also totally amazing.

I guess my point was more that the parents ignoring a tantrum do not necessarily "give zero shits" about the fact that their kid is disturbing others. Reasonable minds can disagree over how long it is appropriate to stay in a public place when a kid is having a tantrum (believe me, I've removed mine from movies,

No. Sometimes that parent knows that the best way to get the child to calm down as quickly as possible is to NOT give the child the attention she is seeking by having the tantrum.

Touche. (And cheers to NH)

Exactly! At least we realized our collective mistake and voted in no less than Elizabeth Warren. NH, ball's in your court.

Fellow Massaachusetts resident here. I actually cried when I realized the euthanasia law was not going to pass. I hope we get another chance to pass it before I or any of my loved ones need it. If not, I am at least glad of our proximity to Vermont.

When my husband and I saw "Saving Private Ryan" at the theater (yes, I am an Old), there was a kid about 7 years old sitting a couple rows in front of me. He was cowering in his seat whimpering during the Normandy Beach scenes at the very beginning. His dad looked over at him and, I kid you not, said to him: "man
