“…Studies on the short-term side effects of mifepristone have addressed its safety (Donaldson et al, 1994;Westfall et al, 1998). Common side-effects of mifepristone are shivering, vomitting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache and/or dizziness (Mahajan and London, 1997); allergic or hemorrhagic shock, arrhythmia and convulsion occasionally occur (Zou et al, 2004).…”

Mifepristone has provided a safe alternative to surgical termination of pregnancy and the immediate side effects of mifepristone-induced abortion have been well-documented (Avrech et al, 1991;Donaldson et al, 1994;Say et al, 2002;Rørbye et al, 2004;Hamoda and Flett, 2005). However, only limited information has been available on the long-term effects of early pregnancy abortion induced by mifepristone.…”

“…Even among metropolitan areas, 33% have no providers or no provider serving at least 50 women per year (Henshaw, Van Vort, 1994). The FDA approval of RU486 and prostaglandin and other chemical abortifacients may have a significant impact on the number of elective abortions by virtue of increased availability, privacy, potentially reduced financial costs, and a reduction in medical risks (Castle & Coeytaux, 1994;Dipierri, 1994;Donaldson, Briggs & McMaster, 1994). These advantages to RU486 have led some women to feel differently about the abortion process and in one study described the abortion with RU486 as ''premeditated miscarriage" (Berer, 1992).…”

Recent scientific research which offers evidence of genetic and biologic influence in homosexuality has created serious concerns. The intent of this article is to offer suggestions based in principles of bioethics in which perceived negative outcomes may be diminished and the positive qualities of the research enhanced. For a portion of the general population the concerns expressed in this article could be alleviated through public discussion and exposure to the findings and theories of the academic and scientific communities. For another portion of the population, however, additional safeguards against misuse of screening tests and somatic cell interventions may be advisable through efforts initiated by researchers themselves, general public policies, and additional medical policies. While these efforts are recommended as short term goals for the separate scientific and social paradigms of homosexuality, it is proposed that an equally important and related debate involves the subjects of disease, normality and the value of diversity. It is suggested that while it is imperative that the behavioral and biological sciences recognize the limitations of their separate approaches, the reductionist approach itself limits our understanding of what essentially are questions of attraction and relationships. In conclusion, homosexuality should be understood from the perspective of autonomy as every person's right to experience a full and meaningful life.

“…Three areas were cited to achieve greater safety in WCC. These were: (i) minimizing excessive medical intervention in normal childbirth; (ii) reducing the effect of pharmaceuticals used in artificially induced abortions; and (iii) aiding transition to a healthy menopause (Donaldson, Briggs & McMaster, 1994; Mansfield, 1997; Reid, 1997).…”

Aim:To explore the general applicability of women-centered care (WCC) as a philosophical foundation used for capacity-building (CB) through examining the results of international collaboration efforts in Bolivia and the Union of Myanmar. Methods: PubMed was used to search for articles related to WCC. The literature was sorted into the categories of "antecedents", "characteristics", and "outcomes". The descriptors of WCC were extracted and applied to midwifery projects in Bolivia and the Union of Myanmar. Pre-assessments and postassessments captured recipients' and health workers' "voices". Case studies were used to illustrate the outcomes. Results: Extracted from the literature were two antecedents that typified pre-WCC: gender inequality and hierarchical, male-centered medical treatment. The characteristics of WCC were respect, safety, holism, and partnership. The consequences of WCC were the empowerment of women, autonomy for the care provider, and societal reform. Using these WCC characteristics as the philosophical foundation of our approach, our Bolivian and Union of Myanmar projects were implemented to improve maternal health through CB mother and baby-friendly care at the primary level of normal birth care. The two projects illustrated the WCC characteristics of respect, safety, and partnership, as well as the resulting empowerment of women and autonomy for the nursing profession. Conclusion: Women-centered care, as a universal philosophical foundation, transcends cultures and CB leads to reform for women, both as the providers and users of care. The field results indicated that WCC can be successfully applied to real-life situations.
