The National Institutes of Health and some medical researchers currently defend the recent SUPPORT experiment of restricting oxygen breathing help for premature babies that killed 23 "extra" babies in the low-oxygen group. The researchers had said they were concerned about the safety of those babies but went ahead with their knowingly fatal project anyway, without informing the parents about the risks. Now the NIH and many medical researchers want to do away with the "research-hindering" obligation to tell research subjects about the risks and to relapse to the abusing of people as disposable guinea pigs that led to the Nuremberg Code of medical ethics and similar solemn declarations.

This is just one step toward victory but still a long way to go. Did you know that America has one of the worst labeling laws in the world. Where they do not have to disclose all the info on their label. So many celiacs who are full blown celiac end up getting sick all the time because we do not stand up to the labeling laws. Some of it will not be fixed because that is just life but what we can do is fight these labeling laws! List all your ingredients and what you used to make the tea bags if it's tea. So anything that comes with the food is shown on their label. Do not call if Gluten free if it is not 100 percent gluten free say wheat free instead but not Gluten. The problem is the government does not care and neither do the companies that supply the food. We need to make them care. Make them properly label gluten free food.

Stop Circumcisions -- this cutting of defenseless baby boys is stealing the Freedom of Choice and Right to Privacy from tiny infant baby boys. It takes over 15 years for the male genitals to finish developing and the medical industry is taking advantage of tiny infants that are defenseless against the sharp knives for money in the medical industry's pockets. Mother nature has it right. Human Dignity has to prevail and baby boys deserve to be able to grow to adulthood normally. They deserve the Right to Privacy and should have the Freedom of Choice. Stop taking their Rights from them.

Medicare should be opened up to all US Citizens under 65 on a premium basis. Obamacare has not gone far enough. There needs to be a Federal alternative. Opening up Medicare to all US Citizens for a premium will not only apply the necessary pressures on the private sector providers to improve the cost of coverage, but it will also bring in necessary revenue to shore up the Medicare system for decades to come.

Let's get with the civilized world and implement single payer.

A farmer in Oregon just got an unwelcome surprise: he found genetically engineered (GE) wheat growing in his field. The most surprising part: GE wheat was never approved for use — it's only been used in field tests. This discovery has serious implications for farmers (half of all U.S. wheat is exported, and many countries won't buy GE-contaminated wheat) and for consumers who can no longer be sure that their wheat isn't genetically engineered. Tell the USDA that GE crops can't be controlled, and that we need to end field tests of GE crops.
