  2. Daum: Zygotes on a slippery slope

    When I first heard about Personhood USA, I got it confused with Up with People, the organization best known for song-and-dance troupes that go around the world singing songs like "Which Way America?" and "What Color Is God's Skin?" When I realized it was actually an anti-abortion group devoted to the idea that any fertilized human egg should be considered a person, I still couldn't shake the image of wholesome young performers spreading fetus love across the globe. Instead of singing about peace and "dances through the ages" they could sing about zygotes and implantation, though admittedly those lyrics might be tough to rhyme.

  12. A variety of factors can create difficulty in couples' efforts to conceive

    A number of factors can create difficulty in a couple&rsquo;s efforts to conceive. In general, though, the causes of infertility can be broken down into several categories. In many cases, identifying the problem doesn&rsquo;t take long. Once that is done, a couple can start infertility treatments. The effectiveness of those treatments depends on the couple&rsquo;s specific circumstances and findings. Usually, infertility treatments are successful about 60 percent to 70 percent of the time.
