Medical solution to autism: Destroy babies in the womb !!

[Guest guest]

National Vaccine Information Center Newsletter e-NEWS "Researchers at the University College Hospital London have applied for permission to begin using pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD) to screen IVF embryos for possible autism, even though there is no reliable test for the condition. Opting for what one commentator called a "close enough solution," the reasoning goes that since 90% of autism sufferers are males, the answer is to allow only embryonic girls to be implanted in families with a medical history of autism. This, they say, will allow families with autistic children "to have a daughter free from the condition." - LifeSiteNews.com, London "More disturbingly, a London hospital applied to use IVF sex selection techniques to help couples with a family history of autism - by destroying all their male embryos. There is no reliable genetic test for autism, but boys are more likely than girls to have the condition. Implanting only females would

dramatically reduce the risk, but mean many perfectly healthy male embryos would be discarded." - Daily Mail, UK BL Fisher Note: Perhaps the most tragic aspect of the vaccine- induced chronic disease and disability epidemic during the past 25 years, is the stubborn denial by the scientific and medical community of their role in causing it. The scientists and doctors, to whom we have entrusted the health and well being of our children and our future, are so determined to blame everyone but themselves for

what has happened that they are willing to suggest a final eugenic "solution" eerily reminiscent of a holocaust of another time. Complaining that the economic well being of society is so threatened by the unchecked new autism epidemic - which they insist is purely a matter of bad genes without any proof whatsoever - they suggest that families with autistic children should be barred from giving birth to male children. We are paying the price for elevating those, who get good grades in chemistry and graduate from medical school or become scientists, to a position in society implying infallibility and moral superiority. These "experts" we have created have repaid our trust and respect by suggesting that families with genetic susceptibility to vaccine-induced autism should kill their boy babies before they are born. When the history of the vaccine-induced chronic disease and disability epidemic is written, at the center will stand those arrogant leaders in the

medical and scientific community who do not have the moral integrity or the guts to stand up and admit they are human and have made a mistake. We could forgive them for being human and work together to repair the damage done and reform the mass vaccination system. But we cannot forgive them for suggesting a "close-enough solution" that means punishing those genetically vulnerable to the immunological assault of repeated vaccination with multiple vaccines. Medical scientists now suggesting eugenics will eventually move toward euthansia as a "close enough solution" when all of the casualties of one-size-fits- all mass vaccination policies bankrupt nations in the next century: the learning disabled, hyperactive, asthmatic, diabetic, highly allergic and those suffering with multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory neuroimmune and autoimmune disorders. The biological integrity of the human race is at stake while doctors we have trusted play

God. British Researchers: No Male Children For Families With History of Autism Click here for the URL:LifeSiteNewsAugust 4, 2006 By Hilary White LONDON, August 4, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Researchers at the University College Hospital London have

applied for permission to begin using pre- implantation diagnosis (PGD) to screen IVF embryos for possible autism, even though there is no reliable test for the condition.Opting for what one commentator called a "close enough solution," the reasoning goes that since 90% of autism sufferers are males, the answer is to allow only embryonic girls to be implanted in families with a medical history of autism. This, they say, will allow families with autistic children "to have a daughter free from the condition." Simone Aspis of the British Council of Disabled People pointed to the inherent eugenic principles behind the application. "Screening for autism would create a society where only perfection is valued." In the brave new world of the researchers, it is reasonable to fear "that anyone who is different in any way will not be accepted," Aspis said. Bioethicist Ben Mitchell said, "If unborn children are being eliminated for a genetic disposition to

autism, no one is safe . . . Today autism, tomorrow intelligence below 70 I.Q., the next day male pattern baldness. When will this madness stop?" US columnist Chuck Colson, writing in Townhall about the British Researchers' application for the PGD screening, quotes Business Week saying, "the social cost of accommodating [their] birth is increasingly being seen as exceeding [their] worth."This rhetoric from Business Week of the "social costs" of allowing the unfit to live and reproduce is identical to that of the early 20th century eugenics movement, led by abortion and contraception zealots such as Planned Parenthood foundress Margaret Sanger. Colson makes the point, "Oh my! This utilitarian view of life inevitably leads us exactly where the Nazis were creating a master race. Can’t we see it?"See Colson's Article in Townhall:http://www.townhall. com/columnists/ChuckColson/2006/08/03/th... Ethical row erupts over designer babies breakthrough Daily Mail19th June 2006 By JULIE WHELDON New fears were raised last night that science is

moving inexorably to a world of designer babies. Campaigners reacted with alarm to two developments in genetic screening. UK experts revealed an improved method which could allow hundreds of couples to avoid the risk of having children with a killer disease. It will be quicker and more accurate than existing screening. More disturbingly, a London hospital applied to use IVF sex selection techniques to help couples with a family history of autism - by destroying all their male embryos. There is no reliable genetic test for autism, but boys are more likely than girls to have the condition. Implanting only females would dramatically reduce the risk, but mean many perfectly healthy male embryos would be discarded. Ethical campaigners said the move was yet another example of how the goalposts were being moved ever wider. Josephine Quintavalle, of Comment on Reproductive Ethics, said: 'It is not about taking an embryo and curing

it, but about diagnosing and then throwing away.' Simone Aspis, of the British Council of Disabled People, warned: 'Screening out autism would breed a fear that anyone who is different in any way will not be accepted. It would create a society where only perfection is valued.' Scientists at University College Hospital in London have applied to the watchdog Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for permission for the screening. Rates of autism have risen tenfold in the last decade and half a million British families are now affected. Around ten per cent of cases are thought to be hereditary. Professor Joy Delhanty of UCH said her team would create embryos using IVF and test them at a few days old to see if they were boys or girls. Only girls would be implanted into the mother. Professor Delhanty said: 'Normally we would not consider this unless there were at least two boys affected in the immediate family.' She pointed

out that many couples in such a situation would be fertile and might not want to go through gruelling IVF. An HFEA spokesman said the authority had a duty to consider any new applications. But Miss Quintavalle said: 'The requirements are getting wider and wider and the science can be more and more hypothetical. 'This getting rid of male embryos is shoddy and shocking. We need to see more evidence on the genetic causes of autism.' In a second highly-significant development, UK scientists said they have found a totally new way to spot problem genes and ensure that only disease-free embryos are implanted. The technique has already been used in several pregnancies. Three are for couples with particular genetic defects which trigger cystic fibrosis but are not covered by existing tests. Two are for couples who carry defects for the muscle-wasting disorder Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. One is in a woman with a rare genetic disorder which leads to

pancreatic tumours. The new screening technique, called Pre- implantation Genetic Haplotyping (PGH) was developed by Professor Peter Braude of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London. He will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague today that it represents a major step forward. 'It is more accurate, highly reliable and available for a whole range of disorders,' said Professor Braude. 'It opens the doors to all sorts of conditions.' Doctors can currently use a technique called Pre- implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) to test embryos for some inherited cancers and disorders such as Huntington's Disease. But scientists must know the precise defect they are seeking and it can take up to a year to devise a test for each problem. Professor Braude's method, which costs £4,100 a time, can cover many more genetic mutations and diseases. Ultimately it could even allow scientists to

weed out thousands of genetic diseases. The news was greeted with approval by Linda Ball, 37, (pictured right) whose son Daniel, five, has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Girls can carry the condition but only boys suffer its devastating effects. Daniel already has problems with his legs and must wear splints at night. His parents must face the fact that he is unlikely to live beyond his teenage years. Mrs Ball, from Daventry, Northamptonshire, knew the disease ran in her family because her brother Vaun died of it when he was 18. But when she became pregnant, she said, she could not bring herself to have an abortion, even though she knew she was having a son and there was a 25 per cent chance he would be affected. Now she is delighted that the new test will give her baby daughter Helena 'a real choice' when she too decides to become a mother. Mrs Ball said: 'Of course there is debate about when a life becomes a life. But when

you know Duchenne and that my little boy is going to have a lot of pain and suffering, it make things different.' For the test, scientists take blood samples from a couple and their affected child, or another relative, to work out where the problem gene lies. Using IVF, they create several embryos and remove a single cell from each when they are a few days old, to get the DNA. This is grown overnight in the laboratory which provides a much larger genetic sample. From this the scientists can spot if the embryo is carrying the problem chromosome or a disease-free version. Only the healthy ones are then implanted. The team next hope to offer PGH for disorders such as Fragile X Syndrome, Myotonic Dystrophy and Prader-Willi Syndrome. But Josephine Quintavalle repeated her warning against further extensions of screening. She said: 'I am horrified to think of these people sitting in judgment on these embryos and saying who

should live and who should die.' She said huge strides had been made to prolong life expectancy for victims of cystic fibrosis and gene therapy was looking increasingly promising promising for tackling the condition. NVIC E-News is a free service of
